CHELSEA — In a small old-law tenement
on West 15th
Street, Stanley Bulbach sits at his loom and weaves flying
carpets.
Ever since taking a trip to Morocco in the
late 1970s,
Bulbach, 69, has spent years crafting the Near Eastern-style
carpets — spinning his own yarn, boiling dyes in his kitchen
and weaving on a loom in the one-bedroom apartment he has
lived in for nearly five decades.

exist in reality,” he
said of the moniker. “But it’s part of the tradition,
the ‘flying
carpet,’ so I make them, too.” . . . . [more] |
