Here is the latest tapestry attempt. I made a little loom with a thrifted picture frame and some nails, and let me tell you, hammering nails into a wooden frame should not be as difficult as that was. It took way more force than I was expecting to actually get the nails in the wood, and some of them kept falling out, so I had to supplement with glue. And most of them are crooked and weird, but it is functional and that's the important part.

I debated on what picture to do, and yeah, I should have started with something a little simpler, but I was struck with the soft shelled turtle (me? making a rottmnt donnie related craft? preposterous), so here we go. I did decide about halfway through that my loom is just too small to do something so detailed, which does mean I will be making a larger one at some point, because I have ideas. I do want to work through some of my problems first, like how to keep the wefts even at the bottom without pushing into the nails (which makes it a pain to take off), how to stop gaps between color changes, and how to weave in the ends in a way that doesn't drive me nuts.

I'm still finishing the turtle, I want to go through with black and do some outlines and details, I'm just still working out how to do that without ruining the vibe. I am actually not that disappointed in it, though! I got a quarter of the way through and realized the mechanics of it all and was expecting this to end up a lot worse. Don't get me wrong, it's bit of a mess. There are a ton of gaps and the tension isn't super consistent and there are quite a few places where I messed up the actual weaving part, but overall, I'm pretty proud of it for a first attempt.

I may have a slight problem. these are my working Oc/Fics (on my laptop) I think I need to make a file to specifically stick to. But like.. my brain doesn't stop getting stuck on Ideas.
