Treble Clef 2006/2007



Treble Clef  2006/07.

The challenge.
Project - Design and Weave a Tapestry to fit into a CD case
Subject - Music (of course)
Size: Limited by the CD case but may be smaller. The CD case should be 10mm in depth (standard size case is 125 x 142mm x 10mm) to allow room for the tapestry. This will become the frame to later display or hang the work. The plastic section inside the case and any papers are to be removed to fit in the work. Note that the case needs to be able to close so check this when you are planning your sett and yarn thickness.                                                   

Warps - Cotton. Wefts - Assorted Silks

For this piece the background was woven the shape of a CD and the Clef was woven separately and shaped as it was woven. This was then stitched to the ground weaving. The piece stays in the CD case for display purposes.
