ODDS AND ENDS

Tapestry Weaving

 

The tiger in the lily pond is an experimental 3 dimensional weave using rya knot for the tufted mane. The whiskers are wire added after the weave and the flowers and the tigers ear are needle woven and added to the face of the tapestry.

The heron sunset is a wonderful play of colors and contrast.

The wolf howling at the moon also incorporated silk threads to add a subtle shimmer to the moonshine as well as metallic blending threads to the night sky to add the twinkle of stars. All colors for this tapestry were chosen in moonlight.

These are sample tapestries.

All tapestries are woven using Spelsau® wools from Norway and may be embellished with metallic threads or silks.

Prices are available upon request. Any topic is considered - price and delivery depends on finished size of tapestry.
