I prepared two racks, a small one for a tapestry of small size, and a large one for a work sprang. The same colors, same threads, and two challenges. The blue threads crossings preserved crossings..   I move them down of the frame, and, from time to time  I removed them. This preserves the crosses and I used to mantain the desired tension.I am preparing a tutorial about sprang. Now, I have the photos but I need to correct the text in English. I promise to make it next week. Have a nice day. Graciela

After the rain

In general, I'm not a big fan of doing tapestry but this piece makes me want to reconsider. So very pretty!

You work...

is beautiful!  The colors are so vibrant and the designs are lovely.  I see one as more free form and the other a more structured work.  They definately demonstrate your talent.
