Here I am after one day beginning a new piece which is 45 inches square. (There are actually several colors here, you just can't see them in the photo.)

Day 2

| 6/5/11 |
Note the quick progress here. I decided it would be smart to activate the date stamp on my camera to "prove" how fast I was progressing, though bright and skeptical family members might remind me that it can be easily changed to whatever I want it to be.
Day 3
Then things slowed down a little...
This photo was taken after a 4 mile, 3,000 foot climb. That be some steep hiking (and we took the wussy trail).

Day 4
And here is today's progress... I think it was three sequences.
But I did work in the studio all day. It was just that I had to figure out what I was doing once I finished the border, and it took this to do it.
Those are various color combinations I was trying out for one aspect of the tapestry. I just hope they work out once I put them in the actual piece or it is more sampling for me. I often don't take the time to do a sample of something, but do realize that it really does help figure out what is going to work and what is going to be a colossal mistake.
Wow, can't wait to see how this turns out, Rebecca, I am intrigued by the colors on your sample warp.
ReplyDeleteI may have to pick your brain about hiking around Taos... Dennis & I were supposed to spend the last week of June at Janie's retreat, but I am not sure that will be possible now with the fire & evacuation situation. So, Plan B is to come stay in Taos. I will email you when I know for sure.
By the way... nice hat.
Yep. Had to go get one just like DYs. It is my new backpacking hat! Taos is pretty well melted out and I can definitely give you some good suggestions... and can even show you some trails if you want!
