The image illustrates the incredible detail of the tapestry and is one of several that I will be using in the final piece.
My rider is embroidered using silk thread, even though it looks dull, the finished piece has a sheen.
I have always been astounded by the Battle of Pelinnor fields, maybe because real battles such as this have happened in history.
Watching Peter Jackson's "Return of the King" has just illustrated the horror and futility of war, whether it is justified or not.
I am struck by the senseless waste of life and have to admit crying every time I watch the riders of rohan's charge.
My use of the tapestry for this work is even more poignant, as it depicts a real battle, that would probably have been very similar.
