Tapestry Roundel

Submitted by Jahanara on Sat, 07/31/2021 - 12:46

Tapestry Roundel

a round piece of tapestry woven with a purple border a yellow inner circle and a purple 6 petaled open lotus in the middle.

I have been wanting to tapestry weave a roundel for years. Weaving a circle is one of the most difficult tapestry weaving techniques and it has taken me a while to build up to attempting a roundel. I have woven this roundel using my SCA heraldry.
