Tapestry!

I've been busy working on a tapestry (which I found in a Cath Kidston book) to make into a bag, I have yet to attempt the bag making part but I HAVE finished the tapestry!

I photographed each 'stage':




Once I had finished the tapestry it was fairly warped out of shape, I therefore had to 'block' my tapestry in order to straighten it out. To do this I pinned squared paper to a board and stretched the tapestry into shape, following the lines of the squared paper and pinning it into place. I then sprayed the back with water and waited for it to dry naturally before unpinning.



The next step is to make the actual bag...
