Part II of Trude Guermonprez's article on tapestry weaving discusses how contemporary weavers can design wall hangings and screens in an age when textiles no longer serve a protective function in the home. It moves from plain-weave plaids and inlay to four-harness double weave for abstract compositions, then to brocading warp set-ups, and finally to Scandinavian tapestry approaches. Illustrations include tapestries by Anni Albers, Eva Antilla, Kay Sekimachi and Kaisa Melanton, a French liturgical ornament, and a grid of double-weave color-mixture diagrams. A short biography of the author closes the article.
