Taking a tapestry of a Persian fable Rostam who defeats some mythical not good doers. I am removing some knives and such because that is a bit too much for me to depict in tile. The horns are antlers on some of the creatures and on hats of others (and think as camouflage) -- good and bad.
Anyhow...this is quite different from my other hand made ceramic tile table in that the pieces are bigger, and that there is a background. I decided not to cut the background at the same time because of shrinkage. The pieces have a many deep narrow cuts...and shrinkage will be going on in various directions....I feel if I cut the background now, I would have a mess on my hands. I still may have a mess, but it will be apparent more slowly! 29" x38" should be finished dimensions -- is just part of the tapestry imagery.
I may use some smaller "mosaic" tiles to fill in spots. We shall see.
