I have again begun work on the rug that I blogged about back in October - called Letting Go. Between teaching at Little River, then Steamboat Springs, Thanksgiving and getting layout and edit done on ATHA magazine, and then Christmas — I have not had time to hook much. But now I am happily hooking away!
Editing the magazine has made me think more about how I edit my hooked creations. There are many times that I will rip out a whole section to try to get things more the way I want them to be. I will often hook in elements very quickly so I can study things like body gesture and color. Then I go back and refine the hooking. I did not feel that the little girl looked little enough, and the balloon was too easy to over look.

So, I made the balloon red, and gave the little girl a pony tail and changed her dress color. You can see by my toes in the photo above, that this is a larger rug! |
