I have started another small tapestry. It is based on the same design I used for my last one. But, as the design in not very detailed, it is evolving differently.
I have used a yellow warp again, mainly because I bought rather a large lot of it. Therefore, the beginning colour is yellow. But I have moved into a different colour scheme, using blue and green (blue and yellow making green).
It is a work in progress, using stuff I have. I have some silks that I have no memory of where or why I got them. I am trying to incorporate then into the piece.
I also have some sock wool that is working for me.
I have only done about a third of it so far but I have hopes of doing a bit more this week, life allowing.
I may even end up doing a series of this design - it being so non-specific. I have recently done an online course by Donna Watson, through Fibre Arts Take Two and one of the things that I have taken from it is to try do do a series, after working out what inspires me. I think it is colour and texture. So far, there is not much texture in the piece but I will see what evolves.
It is rather freeing, not having an actual vision of what the piece will be, or of what I want to end up with. And there is no call for entry or theme that is driving me. Very different for my usual practice!
