Wet & Set

 

 Not finished tucking but it was time to wet & set if it's to be ready for Steph's b'day on Sat.

Practically done.  Tucking, filling, setting, then adding the loops and chop. 

 I haven't been posting progress pics in here, so I may add a post with progress steps.

 Franking!  I can weave my chop as a cancellation stamp.  8-]  My chop in a circle with wavy lines.  I like it.

Sparkly Firefly Mini-Tapestry

Choosing sparkly threads for Steph's sparkly bug tapestry.

Pushing carapace to a burgandy/orange, wings as a bluey-silver, light as shades of gold and yellow, sky in shades of darker blue.

 

Firefly

Going to weave a stylized firefly for Steph's b'day, July 30.  A mini-tapestry, so it should go pretty quickly, once I gather the yarns and beads, etc.

I'm tilting the firefly to the left and possibly using a different colorway.  Not sure what yet.  I can play with some yarns.

 

Bug Tapestry

 

I'm going to weave a mini-tapestry of a bug for Steph's b'day later this month.  She's a big bug fan.  She has a site called Look! A Cool Bug!  ;->

I've been pinning and googling kewl bugs.  I like iridescent beetles, often with wings spread.  Also I like a fuzzy bee bottom.

 

 Probably 6" sq. or so.

I'm taking the VRT tapestry off the loom today, and I can either use that loom or scare up a smaller one.

The Road Goes Ever On...

 

Always looks darker when it's wet.  Jewel-tone.  But when it dries it'll be lighter and tighter.
