This is what my rug looks like now, with just the claws gripping the olive branch and lightening bolts.
Would it really make any difference if I drew and hooked a bit of the feathered part of the leg in the rug?
There are some spread eagle images I've seen, including the Seal of the President of the United States.

Well, I'll be... guess that is where the term "spread eagle" came from, with wings and legs spread far apart. So would adding the feathers, leg and claw take the attention away from the rest of the rug?
If you look at the top photo again you can see a little red ink on the right side where I started to draw. But became timid and questioning my change.
Thank goodness I made a pot of chili and some rice yesterday as it is cold again and will have some for lunch to warm me up. Thought it was spring.

I like the little legs with feathers .....how did you hook your stars though ? Did you just hook each point with one strip of wool & then put a knot in the center ? I like it !!!
ReplyDeleteTurned out to be a nice sunny day here , we had a family gathering so was great for all the kids to play outside .
Yes...yes, I do think it would really make a difference. I like the extension of a bit of the legs. Chilly (not chili unfortunately) here as well.
ReplyDeleteI think the feathers would give it detail.
ReplyDeleteFinally we have had a few warm days but much needed rain coming in mid week.

I think you should extend the legs a bit. Always your choice though. Janice
ReplyDeleteI think the consensus is to extend the legs, but I'm sure either way will would be good :-)
ReplyDeleteMy vote is to add the legs. Maybe even a wee bit longer and chunkier. As is, the arrows and olive branches seem rather crowded against the shield.
