TWO FLOWERS LEFT

I've whittled the pattern down to just 2 flowers left to color plan.  There are changes I'd like to make....maybe.  At least there were those motifs noticed which I'd considered reverse hooking.  But my mindset was just keep on going on and get the dang rug close to the finish line.  Just what was I thinking when starting this charade anyway?

Confession time ~  I was so enamored by Theresa Rapstein's hooked rug that I decided to give it a try but not her particular huge antique adaptation.  Wanted mine small but to experiment with that style.  Here is Theresa's gorgeous rug.

For now the rug will sit on the sidelines while I look at it a few days and decide what colors to use for the 2 flowers left.  I know Barb would put some purple in there as she always said, '...purple was a neutral'.  Maybe Barb will speak to me in my dreams during the next couple days while I ponder the fate of the rug.

Am sure you've noticed various shades/values of greens for leaves and colors for flowers, that is because I've tried to use worms for all of them wherever possible.  

It's been raining cats and dogs here but thank goodness not the flooding and landsides, snow, or tornadoes going on elsewhere in America.  God Bless those in the flooding/landslide and tornado area.

Lost That Love'n Feel'n

In the beginning I was enthusiastic about hooking this project.  I'd done line drawings for two designs and only drew this one on linen to hook.  Here is a small section of what little was hooked.

Pink is not my favorite color as I lean more toward earthy colors.  However while perusing FB saw the following rug displayed at Sauder which was hooked by Theresa Rapstine.  It is an antique adaptation and have a photo of the original antique but chose not to draw that one to copy.  But was inspired by the old look and drew my own design.

Was gung ho at first and have a table full of wool colors but as I was hooking the enthusiasm waned....and waned some more.  So can be said I've lost that love'n feel'n.  

So I will pack up all the wool I'd selected and put the pattern and wool in another tote.  After which I'll draw the other pattern on a piece of linen and start again.  Oy veh ~ here I go again with another in pattern prison.
