Another interesting date!

 Someone pointed out to me that today is 11/2/22 - I will have to post! But I am really waiting for 22/2/22 - hope I don't lose track of the days!!

So, what to post about? 

I haven't done anymore small embroideries, seem to have run out of oomph. I am working on a small tapestry, based on a photo of a local park. The theme is Sense of Place. If the tapestry works, it will be a good reminder of the park. It is Heidelberg Rd, over Darebin Creek. (That was a lot of bother to type - it kept trying to auto-correct to Darwin!)

I am not going to post a picture of the tapestry yet, just in case I decide to put it in for the Petite Textiles exhibition at Wangaratta. I think they don't like you to post images beforehand. Not that it is finished and I probably won't go in the exhibition, but you never know. 

Here is a picture of the park though. I am weaving it at about 20cm wide by 10cm high. That's the plan, not sure how it will turn out, I'm not very good at following my cartoons properly and end up winging it a bit. 


I played with it a bit in PhotoShop. It is a bit harder to do than I had anticipated because I am trying for a rather large landscape image in such a small format. But I will persevere. I am doing it with seine twine 12/6 and 3 strands of ATW wool, much smaller than I usually do.

I have realised that it is not Heidelberg Rd, it is the train line. Silly me.
And I have also just found out that the 11th of February was the 99th anniversary of my mother's family's arrival in Australia.
