Here’s the second update for my latest challenge, Recreating part of the Bayeux Tapestry using original materials and techniques. In this video I share the results of my research into colour and how its used in the Tapestry, and share my thinking about how we'll be using it in the project. I also talk about the design, why I chose certain motifs, blowing it up to actual size and resulting changes.
