it’s done!

December 23, 2012 by Birdbrain 10 Comments

And so the Wedding Rug is finished. I began it last June in Vermont at Green Mountain Rug School. I drew the house and a couple of flowers while there, but had no overall plan. As with all my rugs, it developed over time, often taking over and directing me. As those of you who create know, the process is a mysterious one. At any rate, here it is, 4.5′ x 2.5′, ready for the newlyweds’ floor…well, not so newly-wed. As you can see from the date in the corner, this is their second Christmas together. But it’s never too late to celebrate a loving partnership!

    Your intense colors just sing to me! I am new to your blog – do you dye your own wool? What an amazing gift!

    Thank you all for your comments. This rug was a pleasure to hook–and certainly the most fun of all my rugs.

    I do dye my own wool–and much of this rug came from my worms baskets. For me this is the best way to hook–serendipity.
