Progress With Red


The 3rd layer of needle weaving is finished. It is always a surprise when I take the work off the frame because I can see only sections of it while I work on it in the frame.
People often ask me, when they see this technique, 'how long did this take you?' So far this work has taken 29 hours - this includes 4 to develop the design, 1 1/2 cutting up thread, 1 hour setting up the frame. And there are still many more hours to go before it will be finished.



My colour palette is much depleted. I will have to replenish it before I begin the second in the series.



This is the back of the work as it is being blocked.



I am sewing from the back a drawing of a Mi'kmaq petroglyph.
