What's off the loom today

Well I have to admit I cut it off a couple weeks ago, but I was involved with finishing  my Arlington piece, so it feels like today, now that the ends are done.

8 inch wide warp, 10 epi

All three were done by combining wedge weave distortion with traditional tapestry technique. I'm still finding the effects of this interesting

These three portraits were done over the past nine months. Tapestry is a long haul for me. Not just the labor, but the thought. I do not like to rush, why bother?



Two of these pieces are part of my Substitute Tales, going into its last phase, Act 3 you might call it. I have a couple more pieces to weave this fall and winter but then I think the idea has come to a close.



The other is an ongoing series of pieces I do while watching  my granddaughter grow.

Now that's a series that can go on for a long time to come....
