Second Assignment Finished

Why did I decide to try and do 1 post a week!!! at the moment it is proving impossible.  My new tapestries are small, approximately 15 cm sq, so I was able to do them fairly quickly.  The sides on the green one are not very straight although they were fine in the loom. I like the pinkish one best.  I decided to try using the flying shuttle technique and tried 2 versions of it; the attempt on the wall is the most successful. On to the next assignment, a large tapestry 3,600 sq. cm.  I told someone that it had to be 3,6000 cm. sq. and wondered why I got surprised looks. While in  Kununurra I saw a painting of the Bungles in the Lovell Gallery which was 32 sq. ms; it was in 4 panels each 4ms X 2ms. It was amazing. I am going to use the experience of going from Adelaide to Darwin to Kununurra to see Tim as my inspiration.  I am also inspired by a painting by Sue Anderson called Oodnadatta, so we will see what happens.  I have started my research and come up with some themes - journey, family, spirit, freedom; I have been playing with symbols to illustrate the themes that relate at the same time to the trip. Soon I need to translate these to a work on paper not one of my strong points.

Maybe this would be better if I rotated it.

Photoshop is a wonderful thing.
