I just finished the half-hitch at the top of the tapestry and took the photo. The loom has a bit more warp on it so I'll probably weave more before I cut this one off.
This is the second small tapestry I've done from designs created while I was at Hambidge Center in the fall. Weaving details are that I used cotton seine twine (12/18) at 6 epi for warp. Weft was 20/2 worsted wool from Norway (Fine Fiber Press has this yarn now) used 8-fold. The piece is 18" wide x 13" high. I began it in early February but wasn't able to work on it consistently until this week. I used quite a bit of single weft interlock throughout the piece, although did sew a few slits as I wove. I also used a bit of vertical weft twining to make a vein line in part of the leaf.
magnificent, it looks so 3D, i feel i could pick it up off the page.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful little tapestry! I love it. :) I also love your calendar tapestry--very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI really love this. The colors are so muted and I enjoy the illusion of depth. How did you decide on the border? I really like it, just wonder what your process was.
ReplyDeleteTommye, it's beautiful! As I've said earlier it's one of my favorites from your time at the Hermitage!
ReplyDeletethanks to one and all for your nice comments about the piece. I'm happy with it.
