This week the tapestry has been cut off the loom ready for finishing.

It is being left for a few days to settle and then I will add the finishing touches.

The ends of the skeleton tree need stitched through to the back and there are some slits to sew up.  The 'pile' trees will get their final haircut.

The copper highlights will be added last.

A peek at the back immediately after it left the loom shows the wee forest of ends which need to be sorted out and tidied up.
