Forgot to take a photo of them rolled up in the towel for the big squeeze. The choice of tapestry weight -- book, shell and stone-- is terribly important. And it is particularly pleasing when the stones match the yarn -- —perhaps even influencing the next idea

Glad to hear you wash your tapestries too. It is like fulling cloth. They don't seem finished unless I do that. I pin mine to those rubber floor mats, kids play on, with stainless steel pins so they don't put rust on the tapestry.

Love love love love ‘em (& you!) 2/6/2018 03:53:07 pm
It's hard to express how much joy this brings me tonight, then there's your comments on the imaginary place. It reminds me I need to get there once again with my weaving.

These tiny tapestries are JEWELS. What setting will you put them in?

I am just clicking on everything - because you verbalize what my now-forever thoughts and weaving tapestry are focused on letting the tapestry weave itself choose colors, warp the loom, make one shape and go from there

Gosh Pru, I wish I knew. For now, making them is all I can think about. How (or if) they will present themselves to the world will have to remain a mystery, at least for now.... But I bet if I get an idea I’ll write about it here.

One could play archetype (sp) style, not flip the card over style and every game between with these tiny tapestries. I love your looking in and out the windows, near and far, moving the view of the finder. I like these lessons, thank you. 2/8/2018 05:10:19 am
these, well i could feel and smell them, so this little visual tale got through.

I'm fairly new to weaving, But, love little ones! I have steamed a couple of mine.. is that a bad thing?

Lorraine — steaming is what most people do to finish tapestries, so you are doing the perfect thing. I use steam also, just after they ‘ve been washed and dried....

I will try to find some of the soap that you show and wash them first before I steam them... thanks a lot.. Lorraine Comments are closed.
