Cave Painting -- the finished tapestry
The Process:
drawing the cartoon cartoon -- it sits under the warp threads while I weave
pastel -- a guideline for choosing threads and yarns
beginning the weaving process -- frame is a foam core board with waxed linen wrapped around pins
getting the unicorn right -- there is no set order to free-form needle tapesty
needle-shaping and filling in spots
ends all tucked in -- I prefer to work from the front because this style of tapestry is very textural; the back is smoother and more like conventional tapestry

Absolutely beautiful!
High praise coming from you. 8-] Thanx.
Brilliant work. You have great talent for making nice things. Kind of hard to do it when you're a beginner like me but I'll learn eventually. :)
Thanx Rachel. Just jump in ~ that's what I did! I didn't know what I was doing when I started (heck, who says I do now?). ;-]
