Tassels, tapestries and mannequins

On the website, the mannequins and I are frolicking around the tapestry hanging that I made over a period of 10 years from a design by Candice Bahouth from Ehrman Tapestries. I made one cushion first (Squirrel) and then another (Monkey), and once I got to three (Hare) I realised I was going to do the whole thing. I copied the border from photographs and the catalogue, using graph paper to create a pattern, then I sewed all the parts together and lined the back.

Here it is in all its glory:
