Kenilworth castle is the heart and soul of the town and so we decided to convey the whimsical nature of it in our work. Our illustration shows a young girl dreaming of her knight on his voyage to be by her side. Along the way he battles a dragon, then passing Kenilworth castle he finally reaches his lady.

Every part of the tapestry was hand made by the designers. All the fabrics were hand dyed to a contemporary colour pallet deigned specifically for Zizzi. The illustrations are machine embroidered and each piece has been delicately hand finished to create a 4m long tapestry.

This is a piece unique to Zizzi and very special for Kenilworth!!
The finished tapestry was far too long to photograph in its entirety so you will have to wait a little while for some photos :)
I love your style of drawing Lisa, it's so effortless but amazing! :)
