Well, I have finished the weaving and cut it off the loom. Then, to my horror, I realised that I hadn't hitched on properly. It is not a disaster as it is half hitched on. But I must have been in some strange state of mind when I started and only did some of the small tapestry hitching on procedure that I learnt in my first tapestry weaving course.
I finished off properly, thankfully.
So now I have to put a backing on and hope that it hides the strangeness.
Also, when I have taken it off the loom and sewn in the warp threads (despite the strangeness of the hitching on) I have realised that it is totally reversible in the portrait orientation. One way shows the dark valley with the sunset coming in, the other shows the sunset with a darkening sky.
Neither was the original intention, that the background colour changes our perception of the blue rectangle.
Now I will have to decide how to hang it! But first I have to finish it off.
