Works in Progress

Chris made the rug braiding loom for me a few years ago. I'm teaching Lina how to make the rug.



Here is another of my Celtic knot primitive embroidery projects; I'm about 8/10 of the way done with this one. The blue ink is my stitch guide and it is water soluble, so will not be visible once the design is done. If you are interested, I made the candles that are in the photo as well. The big one is a 3 layer cold pour (the cooler pouring temp is what gives it the rustic look). The fragrances are Cinn-a-Buns, Pumpkin Crunch Cake and Macintosh Apple. The candle in the jar that is burning is Amish Harvest.

If you could only be paid a truly fair wage for your creative talents.

You are a wonder, AZ.

Hugs from the blindingly white and frigid House in the Forest where one of your Patchouli candles is burning and warming our noses as I write.

Cooooollll craftiness! I've never heard of a rug loom before. I think I need one.

Its been a long time since we've seen any of your embroidered Celtic knots. Lovely as always!
