Tapestry: Hunts of Maximilian, December, The Killing of the Wild Boar, detail

Cartoon

Origin of the cartoon is a scanned small part of the picture of the tapestry. It was scanned in 600 dpi.
I printed it in the scale of 1/2 from original. It makes width of 90 cm and height of 104 cm.

Warp
Cotton, Fishermans twine, 6 warps per cm.
Totally 540 warps = 1100 meters of twine.

In original work warping is horisontal.
I am using vertical warping which will cause me some small problems.

Weft
Wool 125 tex x2, Nm 8/2 (pirkkalanka)
Color is not exactly even in weft, but it suites well in to this tapestry

Phases of work
1. Cartoon design and printing in Monikko.
2007 March 1.-2.

Weaving has been done 2007 October 1.
I cutted warps in the length of 15 cms, at 5 cm intervall, and tyed knots to secure weft in place.
Then I removed the tapestry from loom cutting rest of the warps at length of 15 cm in both ends of the tapestry.

Work is done and hanging on my wall.
2007 October 7.
