Point of View

I have spoken often of the joy and benefits of having a community of tapestry weavers.  Of course, there are facebook groups and instagram hashtags but nothing beats real live face time with your tribe.

Tapestry Weaver's South opening

Tapestry Weaver's South  new show Point of View opened at the Yadkin Valley Fiber Center in Elkin on Sunday.  It was wonderful to see everyone and see the tapestries.

There were so many lovely pieces, I was inspired by the range of techniques and approaches to tapestry.

I submitted two pieces for entry.  I experimented with alternative materials.

Hand spinning newspaper 

Wedge weave of course!

This piece is titled "Fine Print".  The warp is wool and the weft is handspun newspaper.   It wa woven at 10 ends per inch and is 8" by 8".

Recycled grocery bags and handspun newspaper

This piece is titled "Paper or Plastic" and is woven on a C. Cactus Flower loom at 10 ends per inch.   It is 14" x 6".

Next post, I will tell the sad story of the postcard that stayed home.
