I can see where I will make changes in future. I need to be working with warp thread designed for the purpose, and I have some on the way. I will cover the yellow warp. The blue warp is supplemental, and I will remove it when the tapestry is complete.
But I am glad I departed from the literal photo, since in terms of the color and texture this design is working okay.
I also need to reorganize the studio to get better light on the work. In the morning the sun comes in the skylight and silhouettes the loom. The ceiling lights cast my own shadow as I work.
However, moving means shifting a tectonic mass of artworks, materials, frames, a lot of stuff.
Or -- I just realized I have a stand light, that I clip to my music stand and can bend and aim. For tapestries this small, maybe that's the best solution. Economy of effort, the watchword. I'll try clipping it on the loom and let you know if it works.
I was a bit slow getting to this, but laziness and reluctance to do a lot of moving triggered the thought. So there's that.
