Hobbity Garden

 Otherwise known as fuzzy feet.  ;- ]

 

Color is off (it came off the printer, which is having issues at the moment).  It'll be green/purple/pinky-orange basically.  The foam core board is 11"x14" and the tapestry will be roughly 8"x10".  The board is large enough to weave the straps along with the tapestry.  No idea what dangles there will be yet, but I have no problem adding them on later.

 

Shelter From the Storm

 

Photographed on the front door with diffused sun and room light. 

Needs to be sized for the submission (300ppi, 2100pixels).

Latest Hobbity Cartoon

Colors aren't true.  Pushed the hobbit hole into the background to emphasize the hobbity tableau in front.

Some decisions:  use linen or some variation for warp (instead of dental floss).  Ordered a hobbit hole door lapel pin.  Lilac bush/tree. Books, yarn, flower vase (likely roses, but more pink to fit in with the purpley-bluey-greeny colorway), tea mug.  A rose arbor?  Different flowers: sunflowers, hollyhocks, different shapes for interest.

Hobbity Garden Tapestry

Lilacs, roses, ball of knitting yarn, books, cuppa tea.  Hobbity feet up on a stool.  Hobbit hole in the background.  Prospective hobbit hole door lapel pin.

Juried and Unjuried ATA Shows

Shelter From the Storm is almost done.  I'm going to submit it to a juried show with ATA (American Tapestry Alliance).  Submission is due Aug. 15.  If accepted, it must be sent in Oct., for a spring show.

Now I've discovered ATA also has an unjuried show, which will be online due to Covid-19.

So, if I don't get into the juried show, perhaps I'll get into the unjuried show.

Getting Loopy

Wove the loops for hanging the tapestry.  Wet and set them.

Wet & Set

Once it dries (and poofs) I'll tuck ends into the back and maybe secure the fox bead more securely.  Then I'll weave the loops.  They'll probably be 3" or so.
