I am getting close to finishing my latest landscape tapestry. It will be the largest tapestry I’ve completed so far at 12” x 18”. I am not going to frame this one as it is large enough to hang on it’s own. It will be my first time to line the back of a tapestry and prepare it for hanging.
I really enjoyed making the water and waves with this one. I used a lot of eccentric weft but managed to keep the selvedges straight. My hope is that it doesn’t curl up on me when I take it off tension! I’ve included a photo here of my inspiration. I took the picture in San Francisco during the America’s Cup in 2013 right before I retired. I know this wasn’t one of the competition boats but it still makes me think of racing.
