This is the tapestry .I still need to work on the mounting over the canvas. It is drying out before sweing it. It will help to stretch it a bit more. The brown lines tend to pull a little bit inside. They are very tight, and they would look better all tightly stretched.

Finishing the commission
The finished piece measures 50 X 35 in. and the mounting will be sewn to a canvas 60 X 40 in. painted in dark brown colour.I still need to owrk on the mounting. I am right now working on the back finishes.It was interesting to see the development of this piece. Tha one before was soooo textural and this , eventhough it has texture and different techniques it is quite plain on the surface.
finished commission
This is the day of the details. I still have to work on the mounting because since it is all white over white, I need to mount it to a coloured canvas in a contrast colour. In this case I selected a dark brown because the lines are brown. It makes good contrast as a background.
This is a detail of the centre part of the design. It has metallic threads and rough natural material. Again the contrast in texture is one of my main interests.
