Work by Larry Weyand. On display at the Art Gallery Of Nova Scotia. #textileart #rughooking #finecraft #larryweyand #agns

Hooked rug in progress: blues, black, whites, other colors.

Life keeps getting in the way, okay, other projects keep getting in the way. But she's almost done!

This hooked boucherouite is big enough to go on the floor. Almost all old bedsheets with a little t-shirt.

Rug hooking pattern drawn in black on cream-colored cotton monk's cloth. A photograph of source material is included. Is a broken off piece of decorated stone slab from an ancient monastery in Ireland.

New piece drawn. Will use it for teaching next month at the Arizona Fiber Arts Festival next month. I'm offering Punch Needle Rug Hooking. Lots of workshops! More info at:

The background image to look for on the HeyCafe "rug hooking and punch hooking" group is a detail of an antique hit-or-miss geometric hooked rag mrug from my collection. Midcentury, anonymous. A grid of diamonds outlined in black and black faded to green has been filled with stripes of randomly-chosen multicoloured fabric strips

The profile photo for the HeyCafe "rug hooking and punch hooking" group is part of my collection of hand hooks, including a blue-handled Bluenose punch hook, a spring-hook aka bodger used for proddy, and some fairly unusual antique rug hooks.

#RugHooking friends: if you're trying out Canadian FB replacement Hey!Cafe, I made the group "!rughooking" to help us find each other. (Things are pretty sparse over there so far.)

I also have updated my starter pack of rug hookers on this platform. Post your work to the hashtag to be added!

Rose, designed by my instructor Heather Fox, hooked entirely using vintage Dorr Mill Store 6-value graduated swatches cut to 3/32-inch wide. The rose is hooked with 'bittersweet', a very early 1980s rusty coral, with leaves in 1970s avocado green. Compared with the previous photo in the series: the grey background is now hooked in! Almost finished!!

Just needs some tweaking now. #RugHooking

Hooked rug of a stylized road runner. Orange background. Surrounded with books and magazines. And a Welsh Springer spaniel.

Photobomber!

Bowyn must love the teaching ROAD RUNNER. Working to finish him. Hooked with various yarns, mostly wool, a little silk sari ribbon.

Rose, designed by my instructor Heather Fox, hooked entirely using vintage Dorr Mill Store 6-value graduated swatches cut to 3/32-inch wide. The rose is hooked with 'bittersweet', a very early 1980s rusty coral, with leaves in 1970s avocado green. Compared with the previous photo in the series, there's now a wide stripe of pale greys echoing the shape of the rose, which is floating over a linear border of pale turquoise and pale-to-medium values of grey. (Aside: all these colours are in an oriental-style rug currently being sold at Ikea, so they're back in fashion!)

I put in about 9 hours of #RugHooking background on the realistically-shaded rose today:

Hooked rug of a Sheela na gig (celtic crone holding open her vagina, showing the world within). Mostly grays with celtic motifs. Beading.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!

This exhibition shows beautifully in our gallery on Queen Street and it’s showing, these incredible pieces of hooked rug artwork are selling fast!About the show: “The exhibition comprises both graphic and text-based work, which compliment each other in their wry humour while riffing on mass culture. The work can be considered contemporary Pop Art in both its content and its visual impact; and thoroughly Post-Modern in its tongue-in-cheek, confrontational self-awareness of style. Rose’s work is reminiscent of both tattoo art and comic book illustration, while Terri’s text-based work with stylized consideration for the “right” font to match the word plays with expectations of appropriate language and the written word.”Open today and tomorrow from noon to 4pm! #ChesterNS #NovaScotia #ArtInChester #southshore #ArtExhibition #galleryexhibition #fibreartist #rughooking #fibreart

Heading out to see Hooking Goes Pop at Chester Art Centre later today. Looks amazing! #RugHooking 🧶

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Rug hooked work in progress of a realistically-shaded rose using vintage six-value graduated swatches from Dorr Woolen Mills. A large petal to the right is mostly outlined and so-called 'fingers' of the darkest value have been hooked at the petal's base. A palm and pencil hook, both made from scratch by my father, rest on the unhooked linen.

The petal to the right now has little end-loop-end, end-loop-loop-end zigzags of the darkest four values, and several hours have elapsed.

While visiting family I am getting some rug hooking in - here are some beginning- and end-of-afternoon work-in-progress photos. The fingering technique is Not My Favourite and I am being the biggest baby about this #RugHooking project (whine moan complain).
