I’m probably the only one who can see the difference from day to day! Since everything on this side of the design kind of leans to the left, I’ve worked more on the left side this weekend. I was at a point when I didn’t have a lot of ends hanging down, and my tension…

I weave on the front porch as much as possible to take advantage of the natural light and the pleasant weather now. Here’s the progress on “Hammock View.” About half of this will be turned over for a hem, so I am not very far along at all. Good thing that I’m not in a…

Playing with fine lines in wee urban landscape tapestry on my little frame loom. This one is 4.5 x 4.5 inches and is designed from a photo that I took out of a classroom window at Fort Worden in Port Townsend, Washington. There was a wooden staircase next to the window and sidewalks and a…

After a couple of trips to donate unwanted stuff and a lot of trash removal…

It’s good that I’m talented at reading instructions and making sense out of a mess, because although it was meticulously packed, I missed that there were three separate instruction packets for the loom. It can be converted to a four-harness table loom so there are…

I finished “98% Tapestry” well before midnight and my friend Susanne was there to photograph the cutting off. Now I’m working on the Philippine edge on the hems. I’m still unsure how I’ll mount it.

I’m starting to think about the design for my next tapestry. I want to do it as large as will fit on my Shannock loom, so that will be 24 inches wide. Which would make this tapestry cartoon 24″ x 32″. I’m going to take this jpg file down to Kinko’s and see if I…
