Over the past few weeks I have taken up a hobby that I used to do many years ago as a child - tapestry. At the moment I am still very much in the experimental stage with various designs that one da might form part of a vestment or hanging in a church some where.
The initial work involves graph paper and a pencil to work out the basic design. Then a choice of colours has to be made. Once everything is in place then the canvas can be prepared in the frame to make it easier to hold and sew.
Then comes the task of transferring the squares of graph paper into actual stiches on the canvas.
The photo in this post shows a couple of works in progress. I am hoping to design an A - M arrangement (standing for Ave Maria) that can be incorporated into the design for feasts of Our Lady.
