Nearly Finished!
1:09pm


Above is where we were a year ago, and at the end of March.


I'm faithfully plugging along. Maybe within the next week I'll be done?

More Nearly Finished!
1:09pm


Nope, I didn't finish by April 16th. But I'm on the last step, making the hanger casing.
Maybe I will finish before the end of the month?

Ma'at Tapestry all Finished!
3:45pm


Julia is holding the tapestry.
Perhaps there's a flatbed scanner in town large enough to scan it nice and flat?
I will ask around, maybe FedEx?
Even if they have to scan it in sections, I could piece them together,
as I've done that on a smaller scale with our own scanner.

Hathor Tapestry Progress
6:16am

I'm revisiting an art work I did in 2020:


The original needlepoint was based more on the colors on the art in KV57.
In this recolored reference image, I'm going more for a 'glowing in the darkness' look.


I'm pleased with her progress!
I can do so much more subtle color blending with cross stitch tapestry, as opposed to single yarn needlepoint.

Hathor Tapestry All Done!

Maybe I should have waited until I bought a matching hook to the hook that was already there, but I was too impatient ...

The Arc of Inspiration

Photo by William Petty from KV 57 that served as a guide for all the 2015, 2020, 2023 and 2025 pieces, (courtesy William Petty)

This is my fourth attempt of this scene from Horemheb's tomb. The first is mixed media trace print/colored pencil. The second is a small needlepoint on 18 grid aida. The third and the fourth are with cross stitch on 20 grid aida. The greater "pixel" count and greater size allows much more detail than my first attempt.

Shall I fill in the center flower first or the lower sky bits or test greens?
The center flower is closer to being finished, so...
