I'm approaching the end of this small tapestry.  Yesterday, as I wove, I decided to add contrails to the sky since I'd seen some while walking a few days earlier.

Beautiful piece

It's amazing how you're able to acheive such depth. I love the shading on the clouds.

thanks Karen

I've looked at clouds quite a lot and taken many photos. I'm going to think more about contrails in future tapestries, also.

Very NICE! I can recall

Very NICE! I can recall seeing photos of landscapes that look like this in W. N.Carolina or Scotland.

Glad you mentioned Western NC!

I live in the north Georgia mountains and was born in Asheville, NC. I've seen these hills and skies all my life. My heritage is Scots-Irish, as well, so maybe some of the Scottish landscape is in my DNA and comes out in these small landscapes!

YOUR TAPESTRY

Is always inspiring. Your work is beautiful. I'm just now starting to learn to weave tapestry on my Glimakra Regina. I hope someday I'll be half as good as you. Michele

I like it

I like how you just thought you would throw in some contrails.

The scene looks very alive.

Have a good day!
