Impressive effect, very well done.
Can you post a larger image Penny. So we can get the full effect.
Splendid image.

Thanks, everyone! Here you are, Gary. The stitching effect is just transparencies. The hardest part was sticking to the colour palatte that I wanted - I made that first, the intention being that all the colours would be from vegetable dyes. It's not quite right but fun to do.........Penny
Beautiful Tapestry Penny.
First I have a complaint: The picture you attached is not big enough and does not show the whole beauty.
Second: Any chance of telling us how you went about making it?!
Cheers.

That looks great Penny, I enjoy looking at the old tapestry's at the museums. I like the harmony and colors you used. Well done, I could see it hanging on a wall in an old castle.

Penny, that's one fantastic tapestry. Thanks for posting the slightly larger view. Is there any chance I can get you to post a close up view of a small section of your tapestry so we can carbon date the fabric? Sorry, I mean so we can better see the detail and evaluate your skill as a weaver of fine tapestries.
Mighty fine,
Harry
Thanks for kind comments. Rik, I hope the attached explains. It's just a matter of drawing the separate elements and arranging them on the background, then adding the 'stitches'.
Harry, I loathe needlework in any form (blood and tears as a child) so creating a virtual tapestry is bliss!!
Penny
Thanks for the explanation Penny.
I had a feeling that it was some sort of an overlay, but not exactly what it was.
I will have a go to see if I can do what you say.
If not, then I hope you are ready for questions!
