Cave Painting Tapestry -- The Process

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
