I've just finished weaving the last of this tapestry! I still have the half-hitches to put in at the end before I unroll and cut it off. But I'll do that tomorrow. Here's how it looks right now:
Here's how the studio looks... pretty much a wreck at this point although I've wound up the trailing ends of the yarn cones so they're not all over the floor as they were a short while ago.
The cartoon went through some changes as I progressed, especially in the upper left part. Moral of the story? Have a more completely realized cartoon before beginning? Hmmm... don't seem to ever be able to do that and am usually ready to adjust as I move along once I see what's actually happening in the tapestry.
I'm eager to see it unrolled. Tomorrow will tell the tale, I guess.
Exquisite, Tommye, in its detail and execution.
ReplyDeleteThe moral to the story is Be Flexible. Oh right, you are!
ReplyDeleteI love the tapestry, and I'm impressed with how quickly you got it done. I'm inspired, maybe my new big tapestry won't take me years to weave after all.
I can hardly wait to see it. I still love the res lines! Congratulations on getting it done so quickly. I need to weave, but my life is up-ended right now, so will just enjoy your work for a time.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful. I can't wait to see it off the roll.
ReplyDeleteLovely, Tommye!
