Week 50 (Started on my first figure)


Weaver's log, Earthdate 09022015 
The first thing I have to think about then weaving pictures hit me today. Then I started with the horsetail I only measured from the short side border on the paper copy and then on the weft, this was a mistake, I should have measured from as many angles as I could and not only one. This resulted in that the horse will get a very insignificant rear end.If I would weave the size that is on the paper Odin would have to be very small to fit on the tapestry at all. Until today I have used a toothpick to pick the threads I am twisting around, and as toothpicks aren't as smooth as I need I wanted to do a needle in bone. A teacher came with the suggestion to use a needle binding needle. Can't understand why that thought hadn't hit me, it works great. Here is a progression photo.

Started with Odin's hand today very excited, and this time I measured from a lot of angels to see where to start.
