Tapestry Update!

Hello Hello!
Here is a shot of the rose tapestry at 138 Hours! You can click on the photos to get a larger view!


I got to wind the warp down a teensy bit further. That's always exciting! But my hips sure are bothering me. I am feeling a little deflated. I just hope I manage to get this one finished before I need to take a few months off and heal. But! Do you see the white area on the upper right hand side of the cartoon? That's totally the background! Eeee!


At this point I have so SO SO many butterflies and bobbins attached to the tapestry I can barely think straight and don't get me started on keeping things untangled. But until I start to close up the top of the rose I will have to keep moving across the entire piece, working up an inch at a time or so of each section. C'est la vie. Pun absolutely intended. :P


I can't wait to start in the center of the rose. The colours will be deeper and there will be some rich burgundy in with all that purple.



"Rest not. Life is sweeping by; go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time."
---Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


I finished weaving the first Celtic knot guitar strap. This one has a home already plus I have 2 more requests!


♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ PINK! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥


I just threaded this bad girl up this morning. Looking sharp! This one is destined to pair up with a pretty wicked bubblegum pink electric guitar. HOT.

Thanks for popping in! Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

Your tapestry looks AMAZING! so complex, I could stare at it for hours in person, LOL. Oh, the straps are beyond gorgeous...may have talked my daughter into trying the loom out where she goes to school. Take care and easy on the hips, eh?! lol
