Almost Finished ~

Usually when I'm at this stage of a rug ~
between blocking & binding,

I like to just lay it on a chair and look at it for a day ...

 I used so many pieces of scrap wool from other rugs for this little one ~

and I am pleased with my results!

lots of wool in there!

it's size is approx. 11" x 9"...
and it will be turned into a purse as well.
now I just have to figure out what type of purse :)

a handbag with shorter handles?

another long strapped one to wear across your chest? (my personal fav)
or, maybe I'll have to dream a little and come up with something different...we'll see.

 

 

 

time to put on my thinkin' cap :)

I am also happy with this cat's tiny little eyeball    >^..^<

I cut the black and white wool strips super-skinny

and worked them in after hooking the outline of the eye...

 

 

sorry about the blur and the cat hair!

in a different light

and under my ott lamp's light ~

...... a better snap of his eye:

 

 

what's wrong with my camera today?

 

So, how many of you hookers out there 'fit in' little details of your rugs like I did for the eye?

did you plan on doing that or was it a 'happy accident' like mine was :)

I will try to replicate this again and hope it works out as good ~

 

I'm working on another video tutorial too,

this one will be a series of how I start & finish a rug,

...with all of the steps in between.

 

I gaurantee it will be interesting to say the least!

 

Have a wonderfully creative wednesday my friends!!
