"Thanks to a generous donation from the Teitelbaum Family Trust, ATA offers awards to two American Tapestry Biennial artists. The juror for the show bestows the awards on tapestries that (s)he considers to be of exceptional aesthetic and technical quality. The First Place Award is a $300.00 cash prize and Second Place is a $200.00 cash prize." I won 2nd place with the tapestry below, and Kathe Todd Hooker won first place--congratulations Kathe!

I've been weaving and finishing a cardinal bird to apply to the last tapestry I wove before I moved closer into Atlanta. I'll show the bird applied to that last tapestry later on. Not tonight. The first photo is the cardinal on the loom with seine twine building up to the outline and before I started weaving I made half-hitches all way round the build-up. Then I cut it off and the warps needing to be finished in was a CHORE! But I did it, then lined the back. It's ready to be applied.
