Last week Lauren, of Rugs and Pugs, and I went to Pennsylvania for a three day class with Katie Hartner. She was such a a sweet teacher. This was the best camp I've attended for years. The room was a bit crowded, but other than that, all was wonderful. Just wonderful.
This was my rug. I wanted a soft look and I think I am achieving that goal. Keeping it in only in medium and light values has been more difficult than I thought it would be. The camera shows a few areas that may need to be changed. Like that leaf top right.
Here are the other folks rugs.
Today is a better today. The pain is less, I'm definitely more awake. They did pinch my upper lip and I have quite a sore lip. But things are looking up.
It shouldn't take me much longer to finish up my new rug, just in time for spring. It's almost here. Almost.

Your rug is almost done. I see what you mean about that one stand-out green leaf. That design looks so much different in pastels than the bold dark colors I used. Interesting how color changes the temperature or feeling of a rug.
ReplyDeleteYour rug is Beautiful ! Love your pretty soft colors ....Isn't Katie Hartner such a nice gal ....I took a class from her and felt like she was an old friend , she was so nice and I learned a lot .
