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.

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

tapestry.
Work is done and hanging on my wall.

During the Middle Ages. the term "artisan" was applied to those who made things or provided services. It did not apply to unskilled labourers. Artisans were divided into two distinct groups: those who operated their own businesses and those who did not. Those who owned their businesses were called masters, while the latter were the journeymen and apprentices.
