It is time to be working on a small tapestry for our online group - it is really a challenge to make a small tapestry that can then be sent around the country for others to look at and enjoy. I realised recently that I have been participating in this challenge since about 2011!!
Anyway, the theme for this year is 'Between the Lines'. I made a small tapestry about Walking Between the Lines - a finger labyrinth.
But I have since decided to make another, This one is a bit more obscure - or less obvious. I found some graphs that my brother did many years ago. It uses some mathematical equation that I totally do not understand. (I have looked it up, it is a Gaussian function, whatever that means!). It gave a curving line in the graph - there were several graphs. I chose the one that gave me more room to do some weaving. It looks a bit like a fish, depending on the perspective that you view it.

I am weaving it in the orientation that does look like a fish because I think that suits the weaving better - I will hang it differently. The line up the centre is a bit of a nuisance but it is one of the axes of the graph so I feel that I ought to include it. The other axis will be horizontal, I haven't got that far yet.
I just made up the colours but did think of the fact that my brother is colour blind in the red-green perspective. I have tried to not use those colours - but there is definitely pink and purple. I hope it doesn't matter to him.
This is my interpretation of the theme: Colour Between the Lines. It will not be obvious to viewers but I will know what I meant. I hope my brother will know also.
I am trying to be true to the graph, which means that I need to have the axes of the graph in line. I hope I can manage it. It looks like a fairly simple image but the fact that it is a graph makes it harder - for me, anyway.
