Wildwood

I started hooking a new design that I've named Wildwood.


This pattern is loaded with flowers and for those of you who get bored with a lot of background...this has very little.


A close up of the first flower...



And a peek at the wools in the yellow-gold flower along with the background wool.
The darkest gold on the right is the gold in the middle of the petals, the palest gold 3rd form the right is the outline of each petal.


I'm hooking on Dorr's primitive natural linen using a #6 cut.
I love hooking on this backing, I've been using monk's cloth but I think I'll be using this backing from now on.


And of course my color planner...she helps me every step of the way!

I'll keep posting pictures of the rug and wool as I go along....thanks for stopping!

(pattern will be available on my website soon)

Oh, Faye, your work is just beautiful! I can't wait to see the finished product. I have a number of hooked rugs. One, in particular, has a few bare spots, thanks to one of my dogs. Maybe I'll figure out how to fix it one day. ;)

Blessings,

You do such beautiful work, Faye! I would love to watch you make a rug - from start to finish. It looks quite fascinating.
