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.

Soon it will be time to start a new project. And with the recent May 30th sighting of a Humpback Whale off the shore at Bethany Beach, DE I'm thinking of hooking a whale. There is a video of that sighting but cannot figure out how to separate the video from advertisement and other news so won't post it here. However I do have some free images to share. Here is the mighty whale breaching.
I read some very interesting facts about this mammal which you can also read by clicking the link above.
And here is a video of a whale saving a swimmer from a nearby shark.
I have long wanted to hook a certain antique whale rug design with whalers, also have an old issue of Early American Life magazine which has an Edyth O'Neill pattern free to copy. Or could design my own using this Cousteau Society statue as my model. It was named "Monarch of the Sea".
But who knows what will go on my frame next as my mood changes at the drop of a hat. Haunting me is a challenge piece which I feel responsible to do but am dreading it. Even passed it by when choosing to hook Radiant Flower. Happy Sunday.... it's just another rainy day here in Delaware. Saundra
