Whimsies in Wool

The article I co-wrote with Wendy Tremayne, for Craft magazine is out on the news stands. Wendy wrote the article, and I did the step by step, on how to weave a felted wool sweater rug.

I had a friend call today, she was in Athens, Georgia and was at a bookstore,  and happened to pick up the magazine and she said it fell open on page 152. There I was! She was very excited to see my name there, and the article!

It is exciting, my first time published, and  in an International magazine! I am hoping it will bring people to my shop, and maybe generate some excitement about my rugs!

A Very Long Week

I have been writing a step by step article on my felted wool rugs, for Craft magazine. I have never done anything like this before, so I did not know to make copies of my photos and save high quality copies. I sent off the article, with the smaller sized photos attached, in pdf. I was then asked to send the high rez photos. Yikes, I didn't have any, so I had to weave whole new rug, take new photos, and here we are. I have just loaded the photos of this rug, into the computer. Tomorrow when I have fresh eyes and mind, will choose and crop the photos I need for the article. What a stressful couple of days, and a lot of work!

I actually like this rug better for the article, it is brighter and more springlike. The other rug, is gorgeous too, but more like a tartan. I will have to get some photos of it and post it.

 

I just listed this rug, on my Etsy shop! It is a gorgeous little rug, greens, blues, grey and beige.
