A giant mosaic of King Charles has been created by factory workers using 3,000 tiny squares of CARPET.<br /><br />Staff spent 16 hours painstakingly gluing the 3cm x 3cm patches together to form the portrait of His Majesty.<br /><br />The 13ft high artwork was done by workers at Victoria Carpets of Kidderminster in time for the Coronation weekend.<br /><br />Debbie Turvey, from the firm, said staff were inspired by Turkish artist Deniz Sagdic who posted his work on Instagram.<br /><br />Staff pixelated an image of King Charles III which they then used to match up with coloured carpet squares.<br /><br />It is not the first time the company has had a brush with royalty – in 2013 the firm supplied the red carpet for Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding.<br /><br />Debbie said: “We’re very proud of our royal connection here at Victoria, and when we started this project, we had no idea it would turn out so well.<br /><br />“We’ve been overwhelmed at seeing people’s reaction to it, from walking past us as we stuck tiny pieces of carpet onto a much larger backing carpet, to finally seeing the finished effect.<br /><br />"We’re not sure how best to display the finished mosaic, but it ideally needs a large space to show it off to its optimum effect, as it is best viewed from a bit of a distance.”
