Mother Hen Design
I just finished pulling the last loops and it still needs to be steamed and bound, but this is how I finally decided to design the piece. Even tho I did try the beauty line chose to have just the red border. Also decided that the idea of that little rogue peep walking away from Mother Hen to investigate needed to be expressed with it's partial body being in the framing (border) of the rug and going back to mama.
I like the wonkiness of the border and at first struggled with it not being a mirror image on each side but then decided that was silly since I was also considering having a few random swags (which I also like).
Should you want to be in the drawing for the design I'll take names from this post as well as the previous post. AND, should you decide to take creative license of this design I'd be excited to see what you do with it and would still like to see pictures.
Thank you all for visiting and posting.

I LOVE that you DIDN'T make the border symetrical - I like it lots better this way -

ReplyDeleteSaundra,
ReplyDeleteLove how the Mother Hen rug evolved. You are designing some really great rugs! Like how bright this one is as compared to your more primitive ones.
I would love to be selected in the drawing. You know I am always looking for another rug to hook.
thanks,
