A few more inches were woven today and it's about time to roll up onto the cloth beam. I keep the tapestry level as low as possible so I won't have to be reaching up too high as I weave--much more comfortable on the neck and shoulders that way.
A detail shot, rotated into the direction the piece will be hanging. So far I'm pretty happy with the intertwining I'm achieving with the vines but it's a constant challenge to get the shadow shapes and values to work effectively.
The compu-dobby loom is grabbing a number of my daily studio hours. I've just finished a sampling of about a 2+ yards and am about to tie on another warp of equal length for more sampling. I'll post shots of what I'm working on later this week. Fascinating loom!
I think you are doing a great job with the intertwining of the vines. I have to imagine that could get crazy after a while!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer... yes, that interplay back and forth (and that it's being woven sideways) certainly gives me challenges!
