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.

Lichen.
A quiet architecture of life, crocheted.

Beginning of hooked art.

Something new is starting to percolate. It's not even political in nature! We all need a break sometimes.
