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!!
