Hi everyone

As you know, I am from Iran. I was born in TEHRAN the capital city of Iran. I'd like to show you one of the Tehran's squares which is very famous.

The Northwest region of Iran has some of the most famous styles and highest quality carpets, made using fine wools. Tabriz is one of the most famous cities in the region that has fabulous designs and patterns. Another reputable city is Ardabil, which is the centre for Kazak carpets. Heriz style carpets are also produced in this region. Many Heriz rugs have centre medallions with corner insets within the field. http://www.carpetbuyer.com/pages/irannw.htm

REFLECTIONS ON E-PORTFOLIO

This paper was very important for me and I learnt a lot. Firstly, I'd like to say that I have learnt about the role of E-Portfolios for the introduction and presentation of Iranian carpets. It is another excellent source for me to sell my carpets.

Additionally, I learnt how to collect images and video for presentation of my topic and put it into my portfolio. I think that this is vital for the presentation of an E-Portfolio and it allows my audience to see the range of carpets I have to offer, and learn a little about the history of them through video footage.
In addition, I am able to introduce to my readers, different Iranian cities which are famous for weaving carpets.

Learning how to make a beautiful and rich E-Portfolio was unfamiliar to me at the first. But I could evaluate my skills from the advice and reccomendations given to me by our classmates and from our lecturer Patsy.

I hope to use this E-Portfolio as a platform for making my readers more aware of Persian rugs, which are famous around the world.
I believe this paper, ireflect, was very successful and I am sure it will help me in the future in different aspects of my life.

My carpet

Hi everyone
It is another of my carpets for selling from Ardebil.
Ardebil is a city near the coast of the Caspian Sea. Ardebil rugs usually have the famous Mahi (Herati) design, with a diamond medallion and small fish throughout. An allover pattern is sometimes seen in an Ardebil. Usually their weavers will incorporate a lot of silk into the woollen pile to accentuate some highlights in the pattern. Some modern Ardebil’s have started to migrate from the traditional Herati pattern to bolder geometric patterns. In addition to the usual beiges, rusts and blues, many up-to-the-minute colours can be observed in the newer Ardebil’s, such as a turquoise and purple.

Hi
This is one of the Persian rugs which I brought from Iran for selling. It has weaved in Arak. Arak is the capital city in the Province of Arak, located in north-central Iran. A centre of agricultural trade, this great city is also known for pottery, metalwork, and hand woven area rugs. A very important region in the making of Persian area rugs, the roots of its commercial rug weaving industry can be traced back to the 17th century. After World War II the Province of Arak became known for a particular style of rug called the Sarouk. These very attractive area rugs, named after a village in the area, typically feature detached floral sprays in an all-over design on a red background. Arak rugs are woven using asymmetrical Persian knots. The quality of the rug is largely dependant on the number of knots per square inch and may vary from rug to rug.
