First of three Finished Warp Painted Works

This is the first finished piece I did with the warp painting after months of practicing. It's a cotolin warp, 18epi  warped onto the octado with an extended front beam. Handpainted in acrylics then woven using a modified form of overshot*
Woven as a wallhanging for the redecoration of the master bedroom in the gite

* Overshot's half-tones mask the warp painted patterns. Threading as crackle and modifying the tie up leaves the overshot unchanged but a more warp-dominated base layer. tabby was woven with a 30/2 linen in gold. Pattern thread was a space dyed wool/ cotton.
