Update: Tapestry

I have finally taken the time to take a few pictures of my tapestry that I blogged about here. This tapestry was inspired by a picture of an ancient German tapestry that my teacher had. Unfortunately I do not have a picture of it, at this time. So, here it is... my tapestry. *drumroll*
7-1/4" x 10-1/4"

This picture is the truest version of it's colors. The picture below is a close up of the curls. (I have very poor lighting in my house).


This tapestry took a long time to weave and there are a few things I would like to change about it (i.e. the face) but I am very proud of it, and it is currently hanging on my living room wall.

Tapestry teaser

I have been working on a tapestry project for the past 2 weeks. It is approx. 10" tall by 5-1/2" wide. I absolutely love how it turned out. It took quite a while, but I think it was totally worth it, and I can't wait to get it back from my teacher and hang it on my wall. Here is a teaser picture.
