A Rug for Dory
My mom has been doing rug hooking for what seems like forever. Now this isn't latch hook mind you this is colonial rug hooking using small strips of wool that has been boiled and dyed to make a picture on a canvas of burlap or linen.
Mom's rugs and wall hangings are everywhere and it is fun because usually whatever I draw she can do.
Like the house we lived in when I was little - Stone Ridge Farm.
Or her three dogs, Zachary, Lucy and Mollie.
At any rate we are all very excited because "Gramma" told Dory and I this morning that she was thinking of featuring Dory in one of her next rugs!!! So Dory will be busy practicing her poses and I will sharpen up my pencils so we are ready to sketch out Miss D in all her glory!!
How fun!! If you would like to see more of Mom's rugs - you can check them out on my Webshots Album Page entitled Cal's Rugs: http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/549125430ZoyfId
Have a great weeekend and keep blogging!
