Contemporary Handweavers of Houston

Gerry Woodhouse wove the tapestry of the Houston Skyline that we use on the Contemporary Handweavers of Houston website. In spite of the name of our web site, I think she is the only one of our weavers who ever set out to "weave" Houston! And she did it before we ever had that domain name. [Gerry's Biography]

The miniature inlaid tapestry of Houston Skyline was woven of Jaggerspun Zephyr wool, silk blend yarn on natural linen warp in an inlay technique. The image is about 5.5 x 7 inches with a self frame of linen, making the total size about 7.5 x 10".

You can see another of Gerry's tapestries on the Contemporary Handweavers of Texas website where they have used her tapestry of the State of Texas.
