Last fall I began a hand weaving of the dried corn ready for harvest. Somehow the scale -- 55" across, full of detail -- daunted me and I never finished it. This spring, while beginning to make image files for the new jacquards, I decided to make use of the scale & detail of the jacquard loom and imagine the tapestry as I had meant to weave it by hand. The color was a challenge for the mill, reddish golden stalks, but the weaving arrived today and I am delighted. And the scale is majestic: 54" high x 80" across!
