Finished, blocked, and ready to mount...
Here is a detail shot of the "August" tapestry. I have trimmed the ends, sewn slits, and blocked it. It just has to now be mounted on the stretcher frame to be ready to hang. I am loving the finishing process on these smaller tapestries! The calendar tapestries are each about 18"x18". They finish up much quicker than my 'regular' sized 3'x4-5' pieces!
You can see the whole tapestry, plus the other completed calendar tapestries on my website, here.

Oh gosh they are all beautiful and nice to see them all together. I love Booker, it is amazing to me that you got so much detail and movement and life in it. He's such a handsome muse too! Was he helpful in the finishing?
Lovely! and thanks for the link to see them all together. Just beautiful work..you are an inspiration.
The calendar pieces are beautiful. I too love seeing them altogether. I love both the winter ones too.

The tapestry is beautiful! And Booker sure looks like he's having a great time. Your calendar series is really lovely. Inspiring.
Thanks for your kind comment on my blog, btw. Hopefully I'll get my beans blocked this weekend!
