What is line?

Back of tournai tapestry


I love the knots and long pieces of wool left hanging in this work, you can see the wool spread from one colour to the other.
This work look quite old and fragile and you can see slits in the wool.

Final Piece


This is the back or my canvas. You can see connection of the wool. I have made it so the canvas can work both ways


Front of my canvas showing position.










Making the back of the sewing pattern just as important as the front.
The front show position and follows rules, where as the back shows connection and the wool is scatered randomly



This is the back of a piece I did. I decorated it with pen. I like how it shows connection and looks busy compaired to the neat and tidy front.
















Wool is visable on the image below. I like how i can control the wool and I am going to be look at stitches and patterns.

A mark indicating position, connection or boundaries

Sewing on to my page. This idea came by from sewing folds in materials. I thought the wool looked really interesting.
