Hanging it
A tall garden, it suits a narrow wall, a stairwell, or a hallway with height to spare. It has no sleeve or rod pocket. Stitch hook-and-loop tape along the top and fix its partner to a wooden batten. You can also use a clip rail, or have a tailor sew on a casing.
A cascade in wool
The falling blossom of the central tree, the ducks and the ferns are all woven freehand in plant-dyed wool. This duck tapestry is a large, single piece with no drawing behind it.
