So... away went a couple of inches of yesterday's work. But, that's OK. I'm beyond that point now and making some other modifications along the way. Here's where I'm leaving it today:

Moving forward by backing up...
... and in tapestry, backing up means unweaving. I spent a good part of today's time by unweaving an area I wasn't happy with. I eliminated a leaf shape that was under the swooping arch of the left fiddlehead. The leaf didn't make sense because the other side of it would be joining a vine in an awkward place behind the stem of another fiddlehead. Make sense? Doesn't make much sense when I write about it but I could see a problem--and after trying to convince myself that I could make it work out, I realized that it just wouldn't.

My Tapestry Diary grows daily...
... and I've just finished the month of May. It was May of 2008 when I started this challenging process; did the one month then and began at January 1, 2009 with the year-long journey. I didn't know if I'd be able to keep up the momentum... but here I am now... into the fourth full year of weaving a distinct bit for every day. And the thing is... it gets more interesting as it goes along.
This year I've chosen a different approach (of course, I did a slightly different approach for all the other years). At the suggestion of my husband, I'm weaving daily weather conditions--at least those that are in effect when I sit down to weave. That weather condition is most often the physical weather of the climate here in north Georgia. However, a few times in this year's journey it's been the emotional weather.
For instance, I'm ending the month of May with some gray clouds. But there's an end to those quick gray emotional clouds and the end comes quickly... the blue sky is peeking out and I'm putting the negative energy that came flying at me, taking me by surprise, where the sun won't shine on it again!
So... happy weaving to everyone and here's to making the daily journey a good, productive and happy one.
