This is my adaptation of the antique which is considered a dog shaped lion. To save you time here is a picture of the original Red Lion antique.

Must admit I'm having a problem using purple in the paws/claws of the lion as well as the mane. There could still be more reverse hooked pieces in both. Yet purple IS in the original antique rug. Tap it to enlarge and check it out.
HEY.. it feels so good to have something to hook. Just hate those days when nothing is on the frame and recently had those days.
Enjoy the last of the warm summer weather here in Delaware. BUT... I STILL have water in my back woods and misquitos were still chasing me and Ben down today.
