Yes Lauren, one could say I was 'holding out on you'. But you probably expected this one to be on the frame anyway. Here's the present object of my attention, drawn 26 x 30.5 so there's a lot of horse to hook. In person the wool of the horse doesn't look pink.
Look at the outline around the muzzle and neck of the horse. It appears to either be a row each of pink and black wool or wool which has both colors in it. Probably the hooker was concerned that just using pink would blend in too much into that tan color so wouldn't delineate the horse from background. Well take a look at how lucky I am to have narrow cut strips which resembles that used in the antique. Plus now you can see the horse isn't pink. A few years ago I was gifted with lots of narrow cut strips in every color imaginable. Most of the very bright colors I gave to my former rug camp roomie. There have been many times when I've needed thin outlines or very narrow strips for something or other. So those have come in handy often. Never turn down a gift of wool no matter the cut size.
What's on your frame?
