Last night I cut this latest tapestry off the loom.

This tapestry took me way longer to weave than one of that size ordinarily does. Not sure I like it. About half way through weaving it I became bored with it. Please note: photo is of very rough, unfinished state and still warm from the cutting = ) I have yet to make a few adjustments. BTW: what would look better—knotted warp ends or make them disappear? I tried the thing about weaving in every other warp end, but that doesn’t work when half hitches have been applied.  Size: 38  x 34 inches.

I think the warp ends should be hidden because of the black edges. Seems like the knotted ends would draw my eye. Have you given the tapestry a title? It seems like there's not as much activity in this tapestry as in many of your others. Is that what bored you? For me, one of the things I enjoy about tapestry is the visual change. Of course, all of this is just one opinion.
