~*Olde Rug*~ Pinkeep
I punched this piece wanting it to resemble an antique hooked rug... and am very pleased with the finish. The image is of two potted blooms with more in each corner. The colors are all drab & dark... browns, golds, burgundy, and a few 'hints' of blue & pink.
The punches were done with cotton floss on quality weaver's cloth. The design was worked directly on the weaver's cloth & is an original. I finished the mini rug off and affixed it to a little woolen pillow. The pillow has been filled with crushed walnuts shells. There are also many trims of linen & wool yarn to complete the finish. This pillow is about 5 1/2 by 4 inches.
My initials have been stitched on the backside for authenticity.
