Woof5 Cartoon


Mirror image (since I'm weaving from the back of the tapestry).

Still working out all the colors.  Bluey-green and variations between the fence bars (which will be copper).  Need a bottom color and a top color.

Bottom might be concrete-type colors.  Top might be blue sky and fluffy white clouds.  Unless that gets too busy.

I could go for just white or off-white for the whole background.

Butt Wait There's More ;->


Bill was teasing me about my doggy bottom theme.  Hey, I've got a lot of them.  I asked SH peeps to send me rear views of their pets for the SH xmas card last year:


This one of Chiron and the pool fence appealed to me.  But maybe I'll do a whole sub-series ~  Butt Wait There's More.  ;->

Stretched Sketch



Had to adjust the Fibonacci sequence on the bars.  Might still move the dog over a tad (tho the bars won't be black like the dog ~ they'll be copper).  And besides the warp will determine where the bars actually go, so I think it's fine.

Stretch Sketch


Stretched the cartoon up and down.  This is for warp that runs horizontally.

Will probably have to adjust the bars.  They're dbl. Fibonacci.

Woof5



Cartoon idea for Woof5.  It's the cartoon from the SH xmas card from last year.  I prefer the cartoon look to the more realistic one.

Pool fence is a double Fibonacci sequence.  Pleasing look.

Taking a break.

Woof4 ~ Cave Horse



Fell back into a free form style, but I'll see how that does.

Woof Face 4





Warped up the plexi-loom for the next tapestry, a stylized cave horse.  I'll weave the image vertically.

Off the Loom



Woo-hoo!  Off the loom.  Still have to add the shiny bauble in Ravenpaw's maw.  And deal with the fringe.



Simple fringe technique from Rebecca Mezoff's tapestry site.



Not bad.  It'll get neater with practice.  Still needs shiny bauble.


Ha!  Or maybe this little ladybug button.  ;->

Plexi Loom


Easy to work with.  If the threads get out of line they can be scooted back where they belong.  Cartoon is easy to remove and easy to put back again.  I can check my progress.





Getting there.  8-]



Fiddly bits now.

Half Way There



Coming along nicely.  Some unweaving.


Reworking the beak, body.
