In January I bit the bullet and warped up my biggest tapestry to date. I've had the idea and composition for this piece ready since April or May last year, but left it on the back burner as I wanted to experiment with some weaving techniques which I knew would inform this piece and future work.
This tapestry is just under 6ft tall so the loom has been extended to 10-11ft high! It was a two person job warping up.
Attaching the leashing bar.
All set up, colours laid out and turn back (hem) woven.
Initials and date woven into the turn back.
Getting started is always the most difficult. Onwards and upwards now!
