Framing is not a favorite task. But after quite a bit of cursing and maneuvering and opening and repositioning, the books trying to escape all the while, I did manage.
This may have to be opened again. It's hung to see if the parts will hold up on exhibit, not slump down on being vertical after a while. They are adhered, but sometimes glue dries and everything slithers around.
One good thing is that nowadays I don't get a frame cleaned, set, and closed and then find a cat hair under the glass. It's like not seeing a typo until you hit publish. You absolutely can not detect cat hair until too late.
So here it is
And here it is on my exhibit wall, which is just there to study pieces, not as home decor. It's strictly a workshop test, really.
Friends do like to poke around and see what I've done lately, though. So they have fun. The pieces are a bit lopsided. But it's a working wall, defensive crouch here.
The sofa bears some of the results of last summer's learning, English paper piecing. I blogged about that if you're interested in checking the topics listed down the right column if the web version. That was an adventure.
And now I can do more spinning and weaving. A lot of ideas to try. And I have to assemble the books for the woven wool covers, too, probably using coffee filters for pages.
But I'm really wanting to spin right now.
