Hanging it
Hang it across the wall above a sofa, a bed or a sideboard. The back has no sleeve or rod pocket. Sew hook-and-loop tape to the top edge and fix the other half to a wooden batten. A clip rail is fine too, or ask a tailor to add a rod casing.
Woven in the Wissa Wassef style
The sunflower heads and the resting geese are shaped freehand in plant-dyed wool, without a cartoon. As both a sunflower tapestry and a goose tapestry, it rewards a closer look at the undergrowth.
