I’ve decided to start a journey & I don’t know how long it will take. It will be complex & time consuming, definitely a learning process, & possibly never be finished…
I’m starting a “Life Tapestry”. Loosely based off the ancient tapestries & embroideries done by our ancestors.
If you’ve ever seen pictures of the Oseberg tapestry or the Bayeux Tapestry you might know what I’m talking about.
The funny thing is I don’t really embroider. I know maybe 1-2 stitches & that’s it. Usually the things I make are quite simple & utilitarian. I’m a bit lazy when it comes to the upkeep of super pretty, fancy fragile things.
But for some reason this project really appeals to me.
I don’t expect it to be perfect, none of my work ever is. I might make 1 picture & never touch it again… but the whole point of this project is the journey… My journey.
