Is Melon good for Meloncholia?

Of all her tapestries Lynne states:

"The process is as basic and uncomplicated as I can make it, using the simple methods employed almost 2000 years ago in 'Coptic' Egypt, and better recognised in the heyday of tapestry in France during The Middle Ages.

The warp is strong cotton and the weft (of varied thicknesses) is linen, silk, wool and cotton… I achieve colour mixing more often by hatching and changes of yarn.

The weft threads describe the shape they are drawing and are often to be found at quite a precarious angle or 'floated' over the surface in 'half hitches'. Both these practises (were) commonly used in Coptic tapestries."
