Tapestry #12, The Forest: Luminescent Moth
San Juan Ridge Tapestry Project, detail of color study. There are many kinds of moths that live in the woods. I chose these because they glowed against all the snow.

Tapestry #12, The Forest: Little Owl
San Juan Ridge Tapestry Project, detail of color study. I think this is a Saw-whet owl... they are quite small. I love how expressive their faces are!

The Forest
30"x75" pen and ink tapestry illustration, last in a series of 12 for the San Juan Ridge Tapestry Project. This tapestry depicts local woodland creatures in winter at dusk.

The Forest, color version
Each tapestry illustration was colored with colored pencils. This was for reference for the embroiderers to follow or diverge from as they saw fit.

The Forest, stitched
This tapestry is unfinished. What you see here is all of the drawing "outlined" in black thread. Much of the linen base is still visible and only a few of the animals have been embroidered. However, the flying great horned owl (center on the right side) and primary trees are finished (left and center).
It is truly amazing to see a drawing translated into another medium!
