Tommye McClure Scanlin ~ artist and teacher ~ tapestry and other things ~ Dahlonega, GA, USA
I am an artist who observes and responds to my surroundings for inspiration. My primary artistic medium is handwoven tapestry, an ancient method of working with fibers to create images. As I seek images and ideas to interpret into tapestry I experience my surroundings a closely as I can. Photographs, sketches, paintings, and writings all are part of the research I put into my work.
I have been living in the southern Appalachians most of my life and so my surroundings are filled with natural forms of woods, streams, and fields. My eyes are frequently drawn to the myriad details of the landscape and many of my tapestries are based on aspects of those details, simplified and enlarged in a weaving.

I love your cat tapestries, Tommye! They make me want to force Possum to pose, but he's just not very cooperative. He's also 17 years old, by the way.... more of our parallel lives - yarns of old cats!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteThanks!! Possum looked like a great weaver's helper on your recent post.
Yes, yarns of old cats are good tails (hee, hee)
Good one, Tommye! A nice chuckle to start my day...
