Finally, 11.08.2026 — the end of this never-ending tapestry. ‘Nocturne’. Woven in wool and cotton on a cotton warp, it measures 45 × 52 cm at 12 warps per inch — a finely woven piece that took its time, with the usual undoing and reweaving along the way #tapestry #handwoven #textileart #Portrait
Not really the same ( still noirish) - but I watched this the other night and thought it looked amazing .. “Leave her to heaven”
Moving on up with the ‘portrait’ tapestry I’ve been working on forever … Hopefully not long to go before I reach the finishing line ..🤞Here’s a close up of one of the eyes 👁️ #Tapestry #tapestryweaving #handwoven #textileart

A bit of a landmark tapestry moment… The right-hand panel has finally reached the top. Time to return to the main character and reconnect with all the tones, colour choices, and details of the portrait. #Tapestry #Handwoven #TextileArt #Portrait
Watched a 1969 performance of The Vortex—remarkably modern. Richard Warwick was compelling; I kept thinking about him. I recognised him from Please Sir!, then recalled his work with Franco Zeffirelli, Lindsay Anderson and Derek Jarman. Sad he died at 52 from AIDS. #NoelCoward #richardwarwick
They introduced Roxy Music into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2019 …. So Hmm. Think everyone is cool about it 🤔

An image I made to celebrate one of Roxy Music’s most beloved songs - ‘If There is Something’ #RoxyMusic #Collage #Digitalart
Tapestry - Work in progress… Getting there slowly. As usual it took a couple of attempts before I was happy with the nose — but at least I’ve reached the eyes 👀. Still a way to go though… there’s another panel to weave to the right of the figure. #Tapestry #handwoven #portrait #textileart
Found this surreal image of a magician and a levitating woman in an old Dutch magazine circa 1937 #surrealism #magician #theatre
From a B/W photo I bought in a #Berlin flea market - I asked Ai to tidy it up and give it a vintage hand painted look - think the end result is much better than I anticipated ❤️
WIP : Managed past the ‘under the nose’ section of this tapestry… 🤞🧶 #tapestry #textileart #handwoven #portrait

Work in progress — Finally, (on the second attempt) , I’ve woven past the mouth and moustache of the young man in the portrait section of my tapestry. The dark, moody tones demand a lot of attention. #Tapestry #Handwoven #tapestryweaversofinstagram #portrait
