miles art!!

putting some old tapestries up on here :^) tragically these are the only photos I have of this piece, as it sold several years ago. looking back it's one of my most ambitious and complex tapestries, and I wish I had spent some more time with it before selling it, and taken the time to photograph it more properly.

based on this painting of a black stag in lascaux cave:

THAT SAID... if you want to double knit with a third color, there are easier and smarter ways to do it, if you a) only have the third color in select areas of the piece, and/or b) don't mind if the reverse side is not a perfect mirror. the way i've found easiest is to basically do a double knitting and intarsia mashup, where you swap in a third color for a section at a time and don't carry it across the whole row if i you can help it. here are some photos of the front and back of a piece that i think make that more comprehensible lol:

the absolute easiest version of this is to just have a section of intarsia on one side, and don't worry about the back. for relatively small areas, you can also knit the third color as the front AND back, though the larger a section you do this for the more it will fuck the stretch/tension of the fabric unless you use two bobbins. which is a tradeoff in terms of more tangling!
