Bayeux Tapestry Stitch -prepare slightly larger sample
I finished my tiny Halley's Comet , my first attempt at doing Bayeux Tapestry stitch . The thing is , this is is actually a process of working three stitches together , which I will be able to show more clearly in my next post .
So I am sorting through my wool again and deciding on colours .
I even tried out the colours together with my colouring pencils .
This will just be a little sample to go into my personal stitch book .
I prepared this Quatrefoil medieval window and I,m going to fill it with Bayeux Tapestry stitch .
I chose my colours and as always happens , I haven't got enough of Appleton's crewel wool no 481 to get started ! So I,m now waiting for that (and a few others ) to be sent to me from The Viking Loom .
Meanwhile I am going to put my feet up and have a lovely browse through these two wonderful books .
The Bayeux Tapestry by David .M.Wilson and Herbier medieval by Bruno Fogliazza .
Simply the best book ever on the subject of the Bayeux Tapestry and Bruno's book shows beautifully , how to do and use the Bayeux Stitch for other modern designs . I love your book Bruno !
I also give here the link to Chantal James wonderful website https://www.bayeux-broderie.com/gb/ ..sigh ..I wish to go and see her workshop !
