Autumn in Muskoka, yarn on cotton warp, 75 x 120 cm |
The second picture shows the process and the frame loom that I built for the purpose. My initial intention was to make a series of four panes, representing the seasons. But unlike weaving rugs, where the whole row is the same color and can be easily automated, this tapestry style involves all manual work similar to embroidery. Unlike embroidery though, here if you don't like something, you have to undo everything back to that point. Not my kind of work!
So, I am left only with the Autumn. Maybe I'll revisit the four seasons idea in painting...

Hi Blaga, this tapestry looks really beautiful! The colors combinations is so nice, wonderful job indeed! Bravissima!
Judy, Jane, Tito, thank you all for your very nice comments! Although this piece is outside the painting category, I thought it's interesting to show. I'm glad that now I have no more unfinished pieces of art and craft waiting around, so - full steam with painting! :)
You're right. It's a lovely piece and the colors are so beautiful !
