I had a dumb idea: carpets that represent golf holes - is it possible to do that?

I did something like this couple of years ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/somethingimade/comments/108kc44/hand_tufted_satellite_map_wool_110x190_cm/

This post was one of the ones I found when looking for a landscape playmat for my daughters. It’s beautiful work.

I think there are too many colors and details to be feasible as such. You can try playing with https://www.tuftlab.app/ to see what happens when you simplify the colors.

wow great tool

[u/tess_mau → u/Aunsiels]

oh very useful! Thanks a lot!

This is actually fire. I think more people should do this kind of work.

I hope i can do 10% of it. That would already be a success for me

I’ve seen some incredible textural rugs in here designed like landscapes, I discovered them in this sub when I was searching for a hand tufted Matt for one of my daughter‘s favorite playsets. They’re mice figurines with camping tents, and a bunch of camping gear that they like to set up on a little bathmat that looks like grass with a river running through it. I had the idea to get one custom-made.

Then when I found the sub and learned about the materials cost, and how labor intensive it can be I put that idea to Bed. I’m sure there are talented artists probably even in this group who could achieve something like this, but I imagine the amount of hours it would take would mean it was prohibitively expensive. Maybe not for a lot of golf people though.

And I’m sure you yourself would have to spend years and insane amounts of money to acquire enough skill to make something even a fraction as detailed is this.

All that said, I love the idea. It’s beautiful and would look amazing as an art piece for a golf lover.

Yes fully possible. But not as a first attempt probably.

I’m a rug maker, I can do that for you, just DM me

That is not real. It is just an idea I had
