A friend of mine pointed out to me today that I have not posted a photo of my finished “Medieval Spinner.” I was certain I had….
So here she is….
Actually, I haven’t spent any time weaving tapestry for the past couple of months. I have been decidedly ‘under the weather.’
Today I had to miss my class with Archie and Susan due having quite a bad cough left over from my recent bout with the flu.
So I spent some time working on an unfinished tapestry and making plans for my next tapestry warp.
I have to admit I am pretty intimidated by my never-used Shannock loom. The heddles need to be re-made, and I’m not sure I can figure that out. I know I can use the loom without the heddles, but….
If I can conquer my fears, maybe I can get the full sized Medieval spinner warped this weekend.
Can you see her? I can just barely see her if I ‘bigify.’
>Ah, the Shannock….I like what Lyn Hart did with hers, and I plan to do the same. She used Texsolv heddles. Check it out on her blog, it's Desert Song, if you don't know it, there's a link on my blog.
>She's lovely! I can hardly wait to see the large one. How big is your Shannock? And what are the sizes of this tapestry and the one to come?
>Jan,
Texsolv heddles for the Shannock! What an awesome idea! Thank you pointing me in this direction! I'm on it!
Kathy,
Thank you! The little study is 8" x 6", and full size piece of most of her body plus background will be 24" x 24"…but big, but about as big as I've ever worked.
>Oh dear, I'm sorry you've not been well. I hope you've been getting plenty of TLC (and some of that hot chocolate from December, if there is any left…)
