Susan,

I like the idea of different epi for different parts of the tapestry.  But I am not sure I understand how it works. Can you explain splitting the pairs a bit more?  Thanks.

Mary

Sometimes you treat two warp threads as one, other times you treat them as two wadi threads so you can get more detail in a small area.

Sorry I took so long- I just discovered these comments!- I guess it would be best imagined as going from a "basket weave"  (over two, under two,) to a tabby (over one, under one) (using a single weft only). There is a tiny line of demarcation because one warp would not actually be covered. But because it is tapesty, and the wefts are pushed down so densely, I don't think the warp shows.

Nicely done. Thank you for teaching another trick that could be used! Thank you! Have a good day!

Notes

In the background, I wove 6 ends per inch, and where I needed detail- for instance, in the dog, the basket, the outline of the girl, I split the pairs, (which were threaded on 4 shafts) and wove 12 ends per inch. that way it didn't take so long to weave.
