Teaching my pin-woven mini-tapestry class at the upcoming fiber frolic, and the theme is color. So I'm revamping my blue sky mini-tapestry:
To add a rainbow:
Same buttons and beads and textured fibers, with the addition of a swath of added color. I'll have to make sure I have primary colors, or at least rainbow-y colors. I may work up a sample and begin weaving the rainbow section on it.
I have an idea to add white to the section that passes over the cloud so it can look transparent, or at least pastel.

Ok, here's the upgraded cartoon:
Printed cartoon is a tad sharper (this is a screen capture). Smallered up the stars and moon 'cuz the button and beads are about that size. Cartoon is only meant to be a guide anyway.

Blue Sky - Mini Tapestry
~*~
Foam core board - 20" x 30"
4 looms per board (8 pieces, doubled) - 7.5" x 10"
Cartoon: 5" x 4 1/4"

Winding yarn bobbins. Looks like I've hit all the color groups.
Already have these supplies:
graph paper
cartoon
tapestry needles
pins
long pins
skewers
floss
Still have to cut down the foam core boards and make up the looms. And gather up my sample pieces.

Alas, I had to cancel. Maybe next time. I'm certainly well-prepared (one might say over-prepared). ;- j
I think I'll see about having a fiber bee at Schuyler House some weekend and teach it there if anyone's interested. Therese, Steph & Jan might all be interested in playing.
