Tapestry picture - Guatemalan dogs


I was given a book a number of years ago with South American traditional images in it, this one really stood out to me, the colours are so intense and I liked the pattern, so here started my foray into tapestry... its the only wool tapestry piece that I've made... it was good fun but I needed strong fingers to pull the wool through the fabric...  I also ended up with a finished piece that was a rhombus shape rather than a square but my magic framer managed to stretch it out so that it doesn't look too bad mounted (thanks Nigel).

(The other thing I realised when I'd finished was that I had effectively created a picture of dogs sniffing each others bums....lol!!)
