ART PIECE 4: NEARING THE END

A bit more weaving accomplished today.

close to the end

OF FATIGUE AND MONOPODS

The photo is not very sharp despite sharpening efforts in Paint Shop Pro XI.  Most of the photos I took today were a little blurry, despite my using a monopod.  I use a monopod instead of a tripod because it is easier to maneuver around the loom.  I am a bit sleepy today.  Have not gotten quite enough sleep the last few nights and perhaps that is what the photos are telling me!  Tonight I WILL go to bed on time.....

USING PAINT SHOP PRO

What I also did in Paint Shop Pro was to work with color, lightness, saturation and brightness. I was trying very hard to get the image to look like the fabric.  The images I present are all pretty close, but this time I was trying for a higher degree of accuracy.  And I must say this is the closest I have come.

APPROACHING THE END

But back to the weaving.  I am close to the end.  About another inch or inch-and-a-half to weave and then the final weaving of the bit then will be turned back to form a casing.  I really wanted to finish it today because I am so close.  But I know, with my current bit of fatigue, doing that would have been just asking for trouble.  Tomorrow is soon enough.
