"Cottonwood in Tassel" Gustave Baumann Tapestry by Tina B. Woolley

Gustave Baumann Block Print, Cottonwood in Tassel, reproduced in a hand-woven tapestry by Tina B. Woolley.

This tapestry was one of Tina's first attempts to discover the wonderful versatility of Jacquard weaving. With a specicialized loom built for Jacquard woven tapestry art; hundreds of hours have been spent exploring the amazing possibilities when using "hook by hook" theory to weave authentic, detailed textile art.

This is the second version of this tapestry that Tina created. Working again on this image as a Jacquard inspired textile, slight changes in density have occured. The evolution of the project is changing the Textile vision of the wood-cut as tapestry.
