Final touches

This has only taken, forever. Over the last year and something... Well up until a few days ago I had left this for months just about to finish the bottom third of the wing.

 Size discrepancy. I had the other to segments stretched 

and rolled over and over while working on them.

Hours.

That is indeed how long this took. First time trying tapestry and something honestly this freaking huge. Not a weekend. After a while your fingers cry rug burn. My husband asked me how long this has taken. I've lost count, does 50 hours even sound right? I am vaguely aware of when I started this. 

Almost finished the border but otherwise it is done! Now to cackle wildly with madness as I repeat "I'm Free!" over and over as I finish it. Kidding. But it's cause for celebration of sticking the whole thing out instead of giving up when it got to at one point a half a dozen strings to work with at once.

Breaks and eye exercises help when working on something for hours at a time.

It was certainly easier towards the end after getting the rhythm and technique down.

Left over yarn for the win.
