Thinking about the new designs

While the four selvedge tapestry goes on up in the studio, I'm thinking about the design for the two upcoming pieces I'm planning for the Hokett.

I painted a watercolor a while back which stayed on my mind to do some accompanying pieces. This may be when.

I scanned and printed it, so as to use the printouts as guides. The plan is two 3x5in golden rectangles, side by side, each doing a part of the painting. Each is a separate work, though. And I've changed the orientation if one of the sections.

So here, along with handy shed sticks, also known as craft sticks, is the setup. At this scale, I decided that embroidery floss is the way to go.  Yarn will be too coarse.

Also I have a much better range of floss colors, and want to try out a bit of gradation. The basic shapes are simple, and colors will matter.
