Tiny tapestry done, some finishing to do

The first tiny tapestry is off the loom, warp threads tamed at the back. Design is ok, execution rusty.




The flaws I see will be remedied by the upgrade of the loom with nails. And by remembering to put in rows of stay stitches, which I forgot, so eager to get into the design.

Tomorrow that will happen. And I'll see about fibers for the next.

Meanwhile, in true oh look, a bird, fashion, while I was up in the studio pressing and stretching the tapestry, I noticed a little watercolor lying about, cropped it and shoved it into a frame also lying about.



I like it much better now.  I also saw a nice weaving I did, and exhibited, years ago, which will do well in a box frame. So that might happen tomorrow, too.
