I'm preparing for an exhibit soon and have lots of small tapestries that I'm getting ready to hang. I thought I'd share some of the process here. There's a good collection of articles about hanging methods for tapestry included at the American Tapestry Alliance website at this link. The method I was using a few years ago was the one I described at the ATA site and it's just a bit different than what I'm showing here. But... there you go... always looking for a different way... if not better! So here are my steps: For the mounting board I've used 1/2" foam core board. It works fine for small pieces; the largest one in this group is 41" long x 4" wide. I measured and cut the mounting board using a fresh blade in the utility knife. A cutting mat is quite helpful for this process as is a metal yard stick. Next, I stretched a layer of cotton flannel (prewashed/dried) over the board using 3/8" staples. I clipped the ends and trimmed excess cloth away. The mounting fabric in this instance is a natural color of cotton twill canvas. It was also washed, dried and this fabric was steam pressed (no need to press the flannel since it smooths out when stretching and stapling it.) Excess fabric was clipped out of the corners, then the edges folded over and stapled at the back. This step is a bit tricky--you want to pull the corners as tightly and smoothly as possible. Staple and then you're ready to stitch on the tapestry. The tapestry is laid onto the mounting board and pinned in place temporarily with t-pins. The mounting boards are about 1/4" to 1/2" larger than the tapestry so there's a small margin showing around the edges of the weavings. Before mounting, the ends of the warps are dealt with... for small pieces that aren't four-selvedge woven (which leaves no loose warps to deal with), I usually use a half-Damascus edge that Peter Collingwood describes in his book, The Techniques of Rug Weaving. It's shown on pages 484-486. The process is done with the face of the tapestry down and it makes the warp ends lay against the back/body of the tapestry. Then I whip-stitch the warp ends down, four to six grouped together. And wefts that are near the edges are also tucked to the back with a whip stitch. Using a curved needle, the tapestry is stitched to the mounting fabric, moving around the edges. A color of sewing thread that will blend with the edge colors as well as possible is what was used, although I changed color of stitching thread if the value contrast of the weft at the edges was great. On the pieces with the warp showing at the edge, the stitching color was changed to the warp color (usually natural color). The curved needle will slip into the mounting fabric, travel up about 1/4" and then come out between the first and second warp. Pull the needle out, bury the sewing thread between wefts, then put the needle across to the mounting fabric again where you'll take another stitch under the fabric to the next point of attachment to the tapestry. This is a curved needle... although looks straight here. The back of the mounting board was covered with a piece of illustration board (mat board will work also) that was glued down. To glue it in place, the illustration board was quickly painted with slightly diluted craft glue, brushing it over the entire board and immediately laying the board on the back of the mounting board/tapestry. You need to be prepared to weight the whole thing down immediately--have wax paper torn to sightly larger size than the board (this is a barrier to keep any bits of glue from your weight) and put the wax paper on top of the whole thing. Weigh it down with something heavy (I use books). Leave it all alone overnight and when you uncover it the next day, all should be fine. For hanging, there are several solutions... you can use an adhesive hanging system, sawtooth hangers, or velcro. I was able to locate enough push pin sawtooth hangers to use for the tapestry diary pieces at the local hardware. This is an easy method to use and should stay in place just fine. The mounting board may also be put into a shadowbox-like frame. That's what I'm going to do with several of the smallest tapestries--frames will have to be built to size by a local craftsman in this case since I haven't been able to find shadowbox frames as small as I need. And... here are the framed pieces... Jeff just delivered the frames a short while ago. They're exactly what I wanted for these pieces.

I just got home from an amazing week teaching my Foundations Tapestry Retreat at CSU Mountain Campus. This is the fourth retreat I’ve taught at this location and I have loved every single one. I didn’t want to leave yesterday but I’ll be back there next year for two retreats in June . Three Lindas

Hey Everyone! I’m back with a new wall hanging pattern and this one might look a little familiar. As much as I love the night sky, I swear the sky couldn’t be any prettier than right at dawn. It is such a beautiful part of the day and always gets me right in the feels. So it would only be fitting to design a wall hanging inspired by the gorgeous colors of the sunrise. Remember when I said this wall hanging might look a little familiar? We are going to use the original Mini Mountainside Wall Hanging as a template and move some colors around to create a sunrise color palate. If you want make the original Mini Mountainside Wall Hanging click here! Keep an eye out because I may or may not be planning a sunset, aka “golden hour” version of the Mini Mountainside Wall Hanging too:) And I of course have to pay respect to the wall hanging that inspired it all, The Mountainside Wall Hanging (which I may or may not also be playing around with because I’m obsessed and I can’t help myself, lol).

Materials *5.00 Crochet Hook Weight 4 Worsted Weight Yarn (yarn I used listed below) Dowel Rod or Tree Branch *Yarn Needle *Scissors Yarn Choice For most of my wall hanging patterns I prefer to use a thicker and tighter spun worsted weight yarn. I feel like it gives a lot more definition to the piece and details tend to stand out more. I really don’t focus too much on the texture of the yarn because I steam every single one of my wall hangings, which softens the piece and makes it more flexible and flowy.

You will need 3 strands to complete 1 fringe. To attach the fringe, grab 3 strands of yarn. Use a larger crochet hook and push the hook through the far left foundation chain on the bottom of the piece. Fold the 3 strands in half and loop the middle of the strands onto the crochet hook and pull the loop of strands through the foundation chain about 2 inches. Fold the strands through the loop. Tighten to create the fringe. Repeat for every other foundation chain. Trim the fringe to your preferred length. Hanging the Project To attach the project to the dowel or tree branch; using a yarn needle, weave the tail over the dowel/branch and back under into the 1st stitch on top of the wall hanging. Repeat for each stitch on top of the wall hanging. Knot off and weave in your ends. To hang the project, drill 2 small holes on either side of the piece. Thread through both holes with cotton yarn and knot off both ends. Trim excess yarn. (feel free to use your preferred method of hanging the project) Enjoy! For...

It's been a while, so long that it has become difficult to know where to start. Updating this blog has become a bit of a chore and it can be difficult making time for it, especially since Google/Blogger took away the subscribe by e-mail function which adds an extra step of admin at my end for notifying followers. Saying that, I do want to get back into the habit of using this blog and will endeavour to update it more than once a year, but if you're keen to see regular updates of my work it's best to follow the gallery's social media pages. I'm "Hoxa Tapestry Gallery" on all platforms. And now for a photo dump of pieces I created last year. After finishing my "echoes of the shore" tapestry I spent the summer researching and sketching which resulted in some large drawings and monotypes, some of which I forgot to photograph entirely before they set off to new homes. Left: "Mirrored sky, Skaill beach" Right: "Midsummer reflections II, Skaill beach" Both artworks are oil monotypes with chalk pastel on paper. Top left: "Bu Sands, Burray." Oil monotype and chalk pastel on paper. Top right: "Blue horizon, Birsay." Oil monotype and chalk pastel on paper. Bottom: "Seapink haze, Brough of Birsay." Oil pastel on paper. After my Mum passed away in August last year I spent the first few weeks walking the Hoxa shoreline, seeking comfort in the familiarity of the landscape and sketching down on the rocks overlooking Scapa Flow below our gallery and house I grew up in. Orkney had stunning skies and light in August so I spent a lot of time in my sketchbook with pencils and watercolours, observing the combination and quality of light, expanse of sea and sky against the low, unbroken landscape. All my sketches were loose and immediate, capturing the effects of the constantly moving light. "Fleeting light, Scapa Flow" Size: approx. 1ft/30cm square Handwoven tapestry. Materials: cotton, linen, rayon, wool; woven on 8 warps per inch. *SOLD* "Fleeting light, Scapa Flow" was inspired by one of my watercolours and was the first artwork I created after Mum's passing. I finished it in October and submitted it to the Pier Arts Centre's Annual Christmas Open Exhibition in Stromness, Orkney where it sold. My Dad helped with my outdoors photoshoot by being my glamorous hand model on the Hoxa shoreline. He did well to hold onto the artwork whilst being buffeted by strong wind! As well as "Fleeting light, Scapa Flow" I created three smaller tapestries over the winter period. "Attry weather" Handwoven tapestry. Materials: cotton, linen, rayon, wool; woven on 8 warps per inch. Size: 23cm square *SOLD* "Attry" is an Orkney word which describes wild, cold, rainy weather and it felt rather appropriate for this piece. At the time of weaving (late October/early November) Orkney had settled into winter weather with plenty of inky, rainy skies, wild winds and "white horses" on Scapa Flow. "Attry weather" joined "Fleeting light, Scapa Flow" on my outdoor photoshoot with Dad. We took it to its place of inspiration, Hoxa Head, looking south to mainland Scotland. "Stormy hues" Handwoven tapestry. Materials; cotton, linen, rayon, wool; woven on 8 warps per inch. Size: 23cm x 7cm *SOLD* I was my own glamorous hand model on this occasion, photographing this tiny artwork inspired by the view from the gallery's front door, overlooking Scapa Flow. "Dister, Windwick" size 18cm sq. (inc. painted wooden box frame) materials: cotton, linen, rayon, wool; woven on 10 warps per inch. *SOLD* "Dister" is an Orkney weather word for a passing shower and Windwick is a location on the east coast of South Ronaldsay, Orkney. The inspiration for this piece was capturing the fleeting moment of intense tonal contrast and colour on the horizon before a shower passes and clears. I photographed the tapestry alongside the original acyrlic paint and oil pastel drawing from my sketchbook and some of the yarns used in the tapestry. Usually my tapestries are woven on 8 warps per inch however for this piece I decided to work slightly finer at 10 warps per inch. Although I was happy with the previous smaller tapestries completed in October/November, I felt they could have benefitted from, or have been easier to weave, on a finer warp. The complication of working at a small scale is that you sometimes need to work finer in order to achieve the same level of detail and fluidity in shapes and blending as larger pieces. Basically, it's not necessarily easier or quicker to work smaller! It has been interesting to look back at my work from last year within one post and reflect on my practice. So often I have a tendency to overthink and agonise whether my ideas and artwork are strong or relevant enough (analysis paralysis is very real) but last winter I just went with my gut and simply responded to the weather in my environment as that's what interested me most. I wasn't in the headspace for undertaking anything big, especially after finishing a large scale piece early on in the year, so it was fun to spend a few months making smaller, more immediate pieces which allowed me to play and experiment with techniques and ideas. Speaking of undertaking big things, I have started something this year. Watch this space.... (or check out the gallery's social media if you're impatient!)

Hey Everyone! I’m back with another teeny weanie wall hanging, and this might just be one of my favorites so far! I have always had a soft spot for my Autumn Moon Phase Wall Hanging because I am obsessed with anything have to do with the moon or space, so I may have a little bit of a biased opinion here, lol. For the Autumn Moon Phase Wall Hanging pattern click here! So naturally I had to make a teeny weanie of one of my most favorite wall hanging designs ever. I also have a mini version of this wall hanging too because of course I do, lol. What is the different you may ask. Well, the Mini Moon Phase Wall Hanging is 2x larger than the teeny weanie and the Autumn Moon Phase is about 3 x the size of the mini, so now I officially have a set. Have I mentioned I’m obsessed? Anyways, I am so excited to share this quick and easy pattern with you guys. These teeny weanie have brought me so much happiness and I hope they do the same for you. Happy Crocheting!

Attaching the Fringe To create the fringe, cut 12 inch pieces of yarn in White. You will need 3 strands to complete 1 fringe. To attach the fringe, grab 3 strands of yarn in White. With a crochet hook, push the hook through the far left foundation chain. Fold the 3 strands of yarn in half, looping the middle of the strands onto the crochet hook. Fold the strands through the loop. Tighten to create the fringe. Repeat in every other foundation chain. Hanging the Project To attach the project to a dowel rod or tree branch; using a yarn needle, weave the tail over the dowel/branch and back under into the 1st stitch on the top of the wall hanging. Repeat for each stitch on the top of the wall hanging. Knot off and weave in your ends. To hang the project, drill 2 small holes on either side of the branch/dowel. Thread through both holes with cotton yarn and knot off both ends. Trim the excess yarn. (feel free to use your preferred method of hanging the project) Enjoy!

Over het wandtapijt met foto De afbeelding is afgedrukt op een wandtapijt die gemaakt is van een katoensoort en bestaat voor 100% uit dit materiaal. Het verschil met ‘normaal’ katoen is het aantal draden, de thread count, dat gebruikt wordt. Deze textielsoort heeft een hogere thread count, waardoor het zachter, gladder en prettiger aanvoelt dan gewoon katoen. Deze katoensoort beschadigt dankzij de hoge weefdichtheid niet snel en blijft er lang mooi uitzien. Schoonmaken Door deze kwaliteit kun je het muurkleed warm strijken en is het mogelijk om het te wassen tot een temperatuur van 60 graden, waardoor je gemakkelijk het wanddoek schoon houdt en zo lang mogelijk van deze decoratie kunt blijven genieten.

Superb colours also abound in the form of an exceedingly pretty, hand sewn floral tapestry. A PAIR - yes, that's right - a PAIR of immaculate, vintage eiderdowns... ...in magnificent and pretty colours against a black background. A vintage rosy barkcloth bag. An Art Deco chenille curtain with one of the finest designs we have seen... ...all in glorious colours. An early hand sewn beadwork bag - yet more wondrous colours. those turquoise beads are beautiful. The tiniest 'petit point' roses needlepoint bracelet - how utterly charming! As well as these super items, we also have a wealth of other vintage and antique treasures in many guises, pale & pretty and practical & pretty - this French postcard album is a thing of beauty... ...and the dainty embroidery on this vanity tray will delight.
