I have also never tried to execute a vehicle in wool! So this has been a real learning experience for me. As a matter of fact I did not even know the make or model of the motorcycle when I began this project and was lucky enough to find a man who loves old Harleys. He was able to help me identify the make and eventually the model and that is how I dated this photo. I was able to locate lots of resource material in the way of photos of this motorcycle on the internet. As I understand it this is a fairly common color scheme and going from an old black and white photo - it seems right!
I dearly loved my grandmother and while I have been working on this rug I have spent hours thinking about her. I obviously never knew her at the age she was in this photo, yet I find myself thinking about that younger person as she might have been in 1928! I do not think that she and Stephan were married at this time and I know very little about him. He died when my mother was only 3 years old, so all I really have heard about him came from stories told by family members.
