Tapestry Work

Tapestry is an art form of weaving pictures on a ground warp.  Yarns or materials may meet, cross, or twist around each other in sections rather than run across the full width of the warp.  Sometimes textures are added.  Pictures may be free-form, abstract, or start from a sketch, a particular view, landscape, allegory, or still life.

Below is a sampling of several works I've created as I have been inspired...
