I love replicating antique adaptation rugs but also design my own. Looking at old rugs in Early American Life magazine was my inspiration to learn to hook.

White Horse With Scrolls
Thought you might like to seea more recent photo of my progress or lack there of on the antique adaptation White Horse with scrolls.
Am happy with choosing a dark border vs. the light as in the original antique shown below. Yet I love the light border too and it was hard to decide which to do.
Have a small heart drawn so think I'll spend the rest of the evening working on that. Happy hooking.
You definitely made the right decision on the borders....I really really love this. And the scrolls must take a while to get the color flow just right. Looking forward to seeing your heart. That reminds me that I made a stuffed hooked heart last year....Hmmmm....wonder where I put that. ~Robin~
Just a wonderful job you are doing on that rug!

ReplyDeleteI like the dark border as well. I do think the light border would be more challenging.....not always a plus, lol.
