Here are the first two small tapestries of a series of four. This is “Earth” and “Fire.” Guess what the other two will be!
I took a piece of the cardboard box that I used for my tapestry bag and decided to work that part of the design in different colors. The loom is just string wrapped around a piece of cardboard with slits cut across the top and bottom – nothing expensive or complicated about that! I used some of the multitudes of leftover scraps of wool yarn that I have hoarded over the years.
These are 4 x 6 inches each and could be used for fabric postcards if I wanted to go that way…I think that I will mount them together as a wall piece though. The challenge is getting them mounted and maybe framed. Once I’m done weaving, it is very hard for me to follow through on presentation. Maybe I’ll do a simple one-color quilted square to mount them on.
I still need to sew together some of the slits from the back and probably will fuse a backing to them.
I wanted to show you my little seascape tapestries, but I can’t seem to get a good photo of them. I’ll keep trying.
