Home Tapestry

The two tapestries I am doing at present are both progressing slowly.  The one I am doing at home is on the way.  I can do it on weekends and for an hour or so every now and then, between appointments.  I also get together with a friend most Tuesdays and I usually take my tapestry with me.  We have a lovely day together, doing our artistic endeavours (assignments for our courses usually).  She is studying the Diploma of Textiles and Design at Box Hill TAFE.

I am using a cartoon at the back for this one.

This work is based on an aspect of Rockbeare Park and it's geology.  I am playing around with the colours and some texture in this also.  It has quite a long way to go still - I hope I don't get stressed about finishing it by the end of October, when it is due for my course!  I suppose I will have to eventually start working after dark.  It is actually staying light longer these days, so I should be able to get more in from now on.
I just looked up daylight saving hours on the government site, it starts at the beginning of October, so that will give me more time to work in reasonable light.
