Soon enough it will be an entire year since the ‘tapestry’ project was started, and I believe it’s taken two people ten or more months of intermittent work. As autumn unfolded into oranges and browns last year my partner suggested we adapt an illustration of mine to create a large (approximately 2.5 x 5 feet) wool wall hanging—I suppose because why not, and I suppose because the long Scottish winters lend themselves to slightly unreasonable ambitions when it comes to maintaining one’s sanity during the absurd hours of non-sun.
