Here's the finished project, still on the loom. I think of it as "Sea to Sky." The blue at the bottom is the ocean, and then there is sand and dunes and hills and finally sky. I love the textured yarn one near the top! I imagine that to be a tree and flower covered hill.
The cool thing? It looks just as good upside down. It was just a bunch of curved lines designed to teach how to use the "slit" stitching technique of tapestry on the dvd "Tapestry Weaving Part 1" by Nancy Harvey. Mine isn't as smooth as perfect as hers, but it also isn't in 1980s colors like hers. I just had fun! I may actually figure out how to use it on the wall.

So pretty! I don't weave but I do quilt and have always wanted to make a landscape quilt- similar to what you wove! Marilyn
OOH FUN, Marilyn! i'd love to see a picture if you ever do make one. That would be a cool lookin' quilt. :-)
This is really beautiful!
Thanks, Susy! It was superfun!
Lovely work. I just picked up an Ashford Tapestry Loom secondhand at an outrageously cheap price and I was looking around online for the Nancy Harvey DVD and ran across your blog. As someone who is struggling with similar problems (debilitating chronic migraine), I understand where you are coming from. Feel free to pop by my wee New Zealand blog. I'm sure I'll be posting about my weaving soon, but until then, I've got felting and this and that up. I hope to see more of your weaving.
Melanie! Sorry to be so slow to answer you! Thanks for your kind words. i'll have to come by and visit in a minute! :-)
