Here you can see three tapestries in various stages of development. This activity takes place during a class in the Senior Center in Eldorado, New Mexico. The class is being taught by Lynne whom you met here.
Tomorrow I'll show you how the students begin.
... Ah the webs we weave.
ReplyDeleteOh! So beautiful! This post remember my Mom that was a creative weaver. I did some posts on my blog about her tapestries.
ReplyDeleteLove the look of the tapestries Kate, I think it would be such a calming pastime, but patience would be required, that could be a problem!!
ReplyDeleteThe students seem well on their way of creating some beautiful pieces of tapestry!
ReplyDeleteI'm really impressed by the beauty of these weavings. The purple and turquoise one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLooks very complex! I want to know how they change the colors without making it look awful. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is so wonderful to watch this being done but it would be more wonderful to be able to do it!
ReplyDeleteI like...but can't imagine someone having the patience to sit and do that work for hours. I'm glad there are those who do, though!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and the light, especially in the first image. There really is such creativity out your way.
ReplyDeleteTalented artists at work here! I agree with Sharon. I like the one on the lower right best, but all are so well done! Nice of them to let you photograph their work. . .I hope they're proud.
ReplyDeleteThe patterns are beautiful and so carefully planned... Lovely!
ReplyDeleteBises,

I love the look of tapestry weaving. I even have a tapestry loom...but I have never used it. Maybe this will encourage me to get it out. :)
ReplyDeleteThat would be fun to learn. Did you try it?
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to learn this. Can't wait till tomorrow to read your post.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite of these three is the one at the bottom left. Is Kate taking classes by any chance?
ReplyDeleteLooks like it takes a lot of work & patience! They are turning out beautifully, though! I love the top one! Hmmm, do they sell their works when they are finished?
ReplyDeleteI often wondered how the patterns and designs were weaved. Quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteNice artistic work, and I love your photos of the hands.
