Black walnut tapestry is moving along well. I'm using vertical twining in some of the leaves--as shown in Kathe Todd-Hooker's book, Line in Tapestry, and I'm liking the effect quite a bit. It's much faster than wrapping and stitching a single warp thread, is done (in my case) after two passes, and it seems to have a more graceful flow than wrapping up a warp. Of course, it looks more like a running stitch than a woven bead but so far I find it looks ok. In fact, I'm thinking it might be interesting to use the method throughout a whole piece, one based on a line drawing. I may set up one of the small frame looms to give that a try.
