A New Tapestry





My new tapestry is finally begun! I warped it up on my Mirrix loom some time ago and even wove the header, but then stalled. Today I overcame the big block, which was to create some sort of cartoon. I had thought I could weave it without one, but after a number of unsuccessful attempts finally gave in and pulled out the sheet of paper and sketched. If you look very closely you will see the sketch behind the tapestry warps. You can also see a selection of the ymmy yarns I am using for this piece, as well as the first design ideas in colour.

  1. Welcome to the land of tapestry blogs! I'm glad you decided to make a cartoon, it does make things a lot easier, I think. I like the color blending effect.
