Locker hook rug - 70's orange and greens

Hallo,
  A quick stop in this morning to show you the latest locker hook rug that I finished. I made up a few lately for an Aunt of mine - they are made with vintage double knit fabrics from her Mom's stash.
 Measurements are about 2 feet wide by 3 feet long - which is about the size I make most of them - big enough to use at the sink or in a hallway without getting too big to work on easily.
  This one is done in greens and various fabrics with orange in them - 70's orange I call them.
  It takes me about 30 hours to do one of these rugs - cutting the fabric into strips, preparing the base canvas and then actually doing the locker hooking.
   All for today - stop back tomorrow, I am catching up showing you recent projects in the next few days....

Log cabin locker hook

 Hallo,
   Just dropping by to show you the latest rug I made. This rug is about 3 feet long by 2 feet wide and is made of some vintage double knit fabrics from my Aunt's Mom.
  A total of around 30 hours it took me to do this rug.
  The cool thing about double knit is that like the cotton it is washable and very durable. It turns out a run that is a bit heavier than cotton but also a bit plusher, softer....
   All for today - gotta get off to work here in a bit.

Anniversary card

 Hallo,
   Yesterday was my daughter and son-in-law's First wedding Anniversary so I made them a card.
Their colors for the wedding was teal and copper and I used the same wedding couple stamp( from Flourishes). The bow was done with a die from Accu cut .
   The little Iffel tower portion was done a long time ago but it fit perfectly as one of the places they went on their 'honeymoon' was Paris. I did a whole sheet with stamps from Cornish Heritage Farms and then made up a bunch of trading card sized pieces, this one with the Iffel tower and a little doodad .
  The background was drawn and colored by me, also awhile back but it fit well too.
  And yes I did fix the crooked bow before putting it in the envelope.....
    Have a great day!!!

Red and turquoise

Hallo,
   I have been doing a cycle of red and turquoise paintings lately. This is a small one at only 6 by 6 inches.
I framed it out in a float frame which I really like how it looks!!!
   Cold wax and oils, this one has a lot of texture and nice deep shades of red under the brighter red makes for some nice dimension.

Double knit in pink

 Hallo,
   Well I have been busy - have about 5 paintings in the works at the studio. One is encaustic that I am carving into and is taking me a long time, and the other 4 are cold wax and oils that I am gradually building up layers and sort of experimenting with, oh and another encaustic that with be a still life painted from photos of my orchids.....
   Meanwhile on the couch in the evenings I have been working on this locker hook rug. It is made with double knit fabric that I got when an Aunt of mine was helping her Mom destash - most of these fabric patterns are vintage but I don't know just how old they are. I have enough of the pinks for at least on more rug - they are about 2 feet by 3 feet. Then I have a bunch of blues to make about 2 rugs and enough browns and oranges for probably just one...….Keeps my hands busy when sitting on the couch in the evenings after dinner, well that and coloring.....
   All for today -hopefully I will have some paintings to show you soon.
