Then I realized that my problem with the background I've done so far is that it is so greyed out, not at all like the 'warmth and richness of fall' that I do want and need. I've been concerned that there will be no value contrast between the background and the foreground elements. Then I realized that I've not even woven in any foreground stuff yet. When I do, I will be contrasting saturation, not value. So I think this unsaturated middle-ground background will work - both in the series as a whole, and in this particular tapestry. I'll work on it more today, and hope to be happier with it by the end of the day. I'll let you know!K Spoeringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692584187798649701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045274146381749089.post-83553818974257646712007-09-03T02:27:00.000-06:002007-09-03T02:27:00.000-06:00Hi Kathy,I see what you're saying about the light,...Hi Kathy,<BR/>I see what you're saying about the light, dark, dark, light but there is going (presumably) to be a huge contrast between the warmth and richness of the fall tapestry and the white/light of the winter one anyway.... Your drawing/weaving style holds them together so the most important thing now is to make the right decisions for the fall tapestry. Every detail counts but we have to see beyond them too. I'm collaging today - might go spill some coffee!<BR/>All the best,<BR/>MeabhMeabh Warburtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09632313697809545598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045274146381749089.post-46041507097751716352007-09-02T14:40:00.000-06:002007-09-02T14:40:00.000-06:00KAthy without being able to see the colours you ha...KAthy without being able to see the colours you have started with, but comparing with the other tapestries, I think the the beginning you have would be fine. Somehow, to me, the alternative would be too dark.<BR/>Happy weaving!<BR/>Pam.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
