Back to old weaving
I have been working on this sand pail weaving for more than 2 years now. I seem to find ways to avoid weaving it. I have finished a few weavings in between, but now I really want to get this one done. The sand pail has been a real challenge for me. I have woven and rewoven the thing about 8 times. I think I am finally done. In the last reweaving process, I wove it, looked at it a day later and found that it had regressed rather than gotten better. I then unwove it yet again, and wove it once more. I am still not 100% happy with it, but I think now if I try to fix it again, it will again get worse rather than better. This tapestry has been a big learning experience for me. I feel that I have learned a lot about weaving tapestries with it. I am going to get back to it this morning as soon as I finish the bills. One of life's pesky little things we can't avoid.

It's all about a journey isn't it?
The sand pail looks terrific! Time to leave it be. The sand looks really good, too. I look forward to seeing it finished. How big will it be?
Thanks for the nice comments. The final tapestry should be 12x14 inches. I have 5 1/2 inches woven, and I think the sand will be much easier to weave than the rest!
