Weave-A-Thon Week 1

I finished my first weave of my December weaving challenge! 

I made a little Christmas tree tapestry, inspired by Rebecca Mezoff. Here are my process photos:

All warped up and ready to go:

Day 1 done (twining, background, and start of the tree):

Day 2 done (more work on the tree):

Day 3 in-progress (working at the park while my little one played):

And a close-up of the final product:

I need to work on finishing techniques- I don't love the fringe or the way I attached it to the branch at the top. I wanted to do a Damascus edge, but the warp ends weren't long enough, and if I did it again I think I'd tie off the warp strings at the top and sew the weaving to the branch, instead. Oh well- this is experimentation- now I know what to do different next time! :-). 

My next adventure- the lap loom from Hello Hydrangea. I'm planning to use some chunky yarn and experiment with lines of color. I'll report back soon!
