Weaving Finished

Today I finished weaving my portrait of my daughter.  It was my first piece using Helena Hernmarck's weaving technique.  Overall, I am pleased with the outcome.

I do have some tweaking to do after it comes off the loom.  There are some problems with the chin and the right side of the cheek. I can fix those with a bit of yarn and a tapestry needle, but otherwise, I will leave it alone.  A detail of the piece is shown below.

I still have quite a bit of warp left on the loom, so I am thinking of weaving my first color piece using this technique.  I bought some yarn for it, but I need to do adjust the warp a bit  and rewind the weaving onto the cloth beam.

Two thirds of the way!

I am 2/3 of the way through my portrait of my daughter.  I am having some issues as I explore this new weaving technique which I am calling the Hernmarck technique, AND at the same time learning to use my Macomber floor loom.  One of the women in my tapestry group had several pointers for me today on learning to use the beater a bit better.  Thanks Tal.  Here is a photo of my progress.  I hope to finish soon and I will post the portrait after it has been cut off the loom.
