My friend Joan has outdone herself and stitched all six of the creation series tapestries. They have been stretched and framed and hung in her living room. I almost fell down when I saw them grouped together over her couch.
They are stunning. Amazing. Bold. All six of them together really makes a statement.
I could not do them justice with the angle and light I was working with. They are covered with museum glass which as you can see above.... you really can't see. It lets the texture come through while protecting the tapestry. It's hard to pick a favorite, but this one is the one I would pick if I could steal it off the wall. Since it would create a gaping hole in the overall statement I won't take it. Maybe I'll try my hand at stitching one up myself. Joan's work makes me want to challenge myself to try more intricate projects.
It's good to have friends like that.
They are beautiful! Your friend is very talented, I can quite see why you would like to "borrow" one... xx

Oh my lands! What a wonderful, splendid body of work. This is just UNBELIEVABLE! Anyone who does this work knows that it's enough to finish, but framed and hung?? My word. Gorgeous.

EXQUISITE! Joan I'm certain is, and should be very proud. It is one thing to challenge
But somewhere along the journey, with a project like this, it is a long journey, It must
Take an extraordinary self-disciplined soul to keep up. Reminding yourself that to
Start is nothing, to finish is the prize. Congratulations Joan.
Carol how wonderful for you to give her the accolades she deserves. Lift a flute of
Bubbly and celebrate, I'm right there with you both.

Stunning work, what an accomplishment. They need to be featured in a gallery!
