Community Project...and an idea!

Today I was at a function and I noticed a woman 
 wearing an outfit with this design...it gave me an idea!
I am going to do some hand stitching around the silhouette
to make it look like it was supposed to happen....

The function I attended was a workshop.
A Tapestry workshop, held at The BACH
where I work voluntarily a couple of Sundays/
and Thursday's each month.
It's also where a have my handmade soap.

I'm very excited about this project and I have offered to follow the tapestry's progress on a blog and also via Facebook. This morning was about learning about the technique, meeting those that will be instrumental in getting the project up and running. And me?? I got to take photos which will get uploaded onto a blog over the next week or so. The Official Grand Opening is on the 10th April. I'll be there, taking photos!

 The warp threads
..still needed winding on at the base

 There was a LOT of them!
 Tapestry practice
These "mini looms" have been donated
 for people to have a try weaving
 All the wooden bobbins have been donated as well
Aren't they amazing??
I left about 12.30 pm...some stayed on to keep practicing
and a few weavers stayed to continue threading up the warping.
I can't wait for the project to start and look forward
 to follow it's progress over the coming months/year!

Time: 4 hours (23 March) 
Tapestry/Community Project
Photography, editing/
