Handwoven second-hand mohair and time. 25” X 55” inches. April 2022.
Made in correspondence with the 2021-22 Weavers Guild of Greater Baltimore mohair challenge.
I wanted to make an homage to honor a little fawn that was lost. Thinking about vegan animal rugs, this is a shaped tapestry in a summer winter structure that is mostly weft-faced. This shaped tapestry is woven with the brown and white mohair fiber in the shape of a fawn rug. I finished the weaving with a wool brush, so the textile appears furry.
