Here it is. My brother's commissioned tapestry. He is living in Costa Rica and, not only he is a wonderful person, he is a great photographer. He has been traveling quite a bit and he has beautiful shots. This is one night shot from the Arenal Active volcano. It was so challenging to weave black over black, and after weaving and un-weaving the background, I decided to blend a bit of grey wool into it to "melange" the contour and not loosing the intention of the impressive lava flow.
I used wool, cotton, linen, synthetic and metallic yarns.

Ixchel, this is amazing!!! I love how you worked all of your gradations & can really understand what you went through weaving with such a dark palette since my current tapestry in progress on the loom is also very dark. What will you name it?

Ixchel, what a wonderful piece of art! It is amazing how quickly you made it. You are truly very creative and prolific weaver - not much sleep involved … ah?
Hi Lyn, and I'm glad you liked it. It is called "Inner force", and unfortunately the computers are still not as advanced to post samples of texture as well...jaja, because it makes a whole new experience, right?
Hi Lyn, sorry it took so long time but I have been like crazy...Anyway, I would love to see on what you are working now that you mentioned is quite dark as well.
About the name, I decided to call it "Inside out".
Now, just to make a bit contrast, I´m working in a commission all in white, raw hues, and it has a lot of 3-D added weaving. I´ll post my advances soon.
Cheers and have a great Easter.
Ixchel
