Done!

Which way to turn it??

It doesn't look so much like a fish in the top one. 

And I suppose I could make it portrait orientation. 

Decisions, decisions. 

 I finished the small tapestry. It took me several hours to actually cut it off the loom, plait the warp ends, tidy up the small bits of wool on the back and then sew on a cloth backing. You don't tend to think of the time it takes to actually finish it off! 

And please, no-one look at the sewing on the back!! 

Similarly, the setting up takes quite a while - coming up with a design, choosing a palette, finding the appropriate wools and yarns (I only used wool in this one). Then warping the loom (my nightmare), putting in the floor and the waste wool. There go a couple more hours (not really counting coming up with the design). 

As usual, I could not bring myself to use flat colours, all the colours are blended. Not having an actual picture in mind and working from a graph, I had no idea what colours to use. I think it works but it could be done several times, using different palettes - not that I am going to experiment that way. 

I then tidied up the wools, (put them back in their containers), put the leftover wools that were on the bobbins into the compost or into a collection of wool pieces that I might use 'one day'. 

As I was leaving the room, I noticed a thread on the floor - it made a lovely face! It said Done!! Not too joyful, just satisfied.
