I stumbled on a #tapestryweaving by accident while I was in Exeter this weekend- ‘Fields and Village on the Nile’ by Mahrous Abdou

Some parts were incredibly detailed (I’d guess it was ~18epi?) and I enjoyed spotting these figures smoking with big cartoony eyes 👀
‘Fields and Village on the Nile’ by Mahrous Abdou shows the river Nile passing across the tapestry, with lush green plants growing on the river banks. People tend to crops, wash clothes in the river, and sit together in the shade of trees. Further away from the river bank the colours shift from lush greens and blues to dry and hot-looking yellows. There are dunes in the distance where people ride camels, and on the far side there’s a village that’s under a hot red sun that’s surrounded by flame-like rays. A man depicted in the tapestry who is stood among plants next to the Nile, wearing a light tunic, a brown waistcoat over top, and a cap. The man’s shape is simplified, making his head larger and cartoonish. In his hand is a cigarette, that he holds up to his mouth Another man from the tapestry who is smoking. He’s sat with other men near some crops, and is wearing a light brown tunic and cap.

I found this art doodle exercise in a sketchbook I unearthed from a pile of clutter. I’m thinking it might make a cool tapestry weaving project. I’ll get to use my signature black and white pick and pick motif as a bonus. What do you think? #Tapestry #tapestryweaving #weaving #fiberarts

Latest experiment with using pulled warp technique in #tapestryweaving!

I found this sample was a little bit easier versus the first (there were fewer pulls). Though, arguably, it’d be clearer if this sample went wrong and the result wasn’t a right angle, so maybe it’s harder that way.
A photo showing a small, yellow tapestry that has been made to include a 90 degree bend using the pulled warp technique. Nearby on the table next to the tapestry is a photocopied image of the tapestry before the warps were pulled. The image shows that the tapestry was woven as a straight tapestry with a large triangular area that was kept free of warp. As that triangle is closed by pulling the warp the tapestry bends and forms a right anguled turn

Forgot to add #weaving #tapestryweaving #textiles

I think he uses double weaving (or more?) to swap between two colours when creating large areas of colour, and then superficially weaves wool to create the figures and more details.

Peep these photos showing the front and back of ‘Prodigal’:
The tapestry weaving ‘Prodigal’ shows an abstract landscape with a figure and a pig stood before a far-off horizon that features a burning red sun that’s slipping below the horizon. The black silhouetted figure is poised to strike the pig with an upheld knife, which is equally red hot as the sun. The pig is stood calmly by the figure, unaware of its fate. It’s unclear if the scene is a violent killing about to happen or a ritualistic sacrifice, laden with meaning. The reverse of ‘Prodigal’. The subdued pinks and blues from the front image are inverted here, so the pig is now blue against a pink landscape. There is no equivalent ‘reverse shadow’ of the black silhouetted figure, nor the sun, as they are superficially woven on the other side.

I finished my first sampler from Susan Iverson’s book on pulled warp techniques tonight! Learned a lot from it, and I won’t adopt this technique lightly in future.

#tapestryweaving
A photo of Susan Iverson’s book Tapestry with Pulled Warp on a varnished wooden table. Next to it are: a small tapestry made with bright green yarn, three pieces of cardboard cut into long triangles/wedges, and a photocopied image of the tapestry when it was partly completed. The photocopy shows how the cardboard triangles were initially used to create a tapestry with three triangular, wedge-like holes extending from the tapestry edge to the other side. Those triangles were removed and the pulled warp method was used to make the tapestry take on a curved shape.

Planning for the next tapestry weaving project. Seasonal, natural colours reflecting those found in a winter riverine landscape.

blue jay #tapestryweaving : ) definitely need to get a loom that isn't made of cardboard soon lol #fiberarts
A photograph of a small acrylic yarn woven tapestry depicting a bird with a beige body, blue wings, and black feet, beak, and eye in a right-facing profile on a dark green background. The tapestry is hanging on a white wall next to a green painting, suspended by a blue string attached to a tan wooden dowel. There are three wooden beads arranging the tassels at the bottom in a decorative fashion.

Art Catch-Up Post
I am back to really enjoying weaving again. There’s something about laying in that yarn to fill those spaces – so simple but can be so complex. Here’s what the inside of my studio…

There was some interesting transparency made in ‘At the length of a season: blood ghost’ with sashiko-like stitching between areas of the warp.

#tapestryweaving #weaving
The tapestry ‘At the length of a season: blood ghost’. Two black silhouetted figures carry a long length of wood above their heads, with a dead buck tied by its ankles to the wood between them. Superimposed over the buck is a faint red silhouette of a person who is also strung up to the wood by their wrists and ankles. It’s an eerie ghost, as if the buck being carried is echoing a past misjustice.

I think I'm at a point where I'm finally satisfied with this tapestry I've been working on since September. It was picked apart and re-woven so many times I felt like I was Penelope waiting for Odysseus to come home. It's wonky, but done.

At long last I managed to do some paper lithography on the theme of #chalkstreams, after taking a walk along the #RiverTest. These will help to inspire future tapestry designs

Just a quick photo I sent to a friend, but I'm quite pleased with how this little sample is coming along! I'm very much still learning and practicing techniques at the moment so it's always satisfying when an improvised sample turns out nicely!

Finally finished a small weaving. It’s experimental using wire for the warp and yarn for weft only. Aim is to make something that can be bent and hold the shape. #art #tapestryweaving #textiles #wire
