He's all hooked ~ or is he?
In the previous post my comment was something like...."ain't gonna worry about colors because I'm using what I have". Well now that I've hooked more of the body, that blue ear looks somewhat out of place. Here is the original.
And here is another photo taken with a calm neutral purple wool on the ear. And, do believe it does look better and not so much in your face as the blue.
If I switch wool outlining the ear will be better too since the blue was a stiff wool .
Back to the hooking frame. Happy rainy Sunday from Delaware.

I was examining a close up view as I like to take a good look and i was wondering if it the original was hooked on old burlap sack backing because there seems to be some burlap fibres coming through the front...
ReplyDeleteI can't give my advice on the ear but trust you've made the right choice.
It's raining here in Fredericton N.B.
Hugs, Julia
Spike does not look like a happy camper...lol!
ReplyDeleteI too like the purple. Also, I can't believe how much you got done. You are cruising.
ReplyDeleteIt really looks like the original, you are doing a beautiful job with reproducing it and still adding your own touches and color choices.
