Section of the Amarna Map<\/p><\/div>\n

This photograph shows a completed section of the Amarna Map, which demonstrates most of the design choices I have made as I went along.<\/p>\n

The long lines to the left in the picture are worked simply in Chain stitch<\/a> and represent the Nile that runs beside the site. Small\u00a0t\u00eate de boeuf<\/a> stitches represent the cultivation, represented by hatched stars on the original map.<\/p>\n

The text is worked in Back Stitch<\/a>. It isn’t perfectly regular, but it isn’t really intended to be, either. I knew that all my favourite line stitches would be too heavy and detailed for the scale and the intention I have, so it is deliberately chosen to be as simple as I can make it.<\/p>\n

Remember there will be areas competing for attention here and that what I want is a general impression that the viewer can then look at more closely if they want details.<\/p>\n

There is at least as much again to do before the Map is finished – that’s why I have tagged this post “Perseverance”!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
