June Garden 🐝
It’s lovely to say hello to the month of June and welcome summer with a vibrant wild garden of Irises.
I’m considering making this 26x17 inch mat into a pillow.
Wishing you a lovely month of June.

Summer Solstice 🌞
My favorite month is just around the corner, and creating a vivid meadow against a yellow sky seemed like a great way to welcome the month of June and the Summer Solstice.

This hooked rug made with hand-dyed wool strips on cotton monks cloth backing came out of the washing machine in perfect shape.

Somewhere…
there is a place where the purple mountains meet the meadows and one tall tree stands alone, but strong and defiant. #rug #textile #fiberart #tree #hookedrug #rughooking #hookingrugs #create #wool
To Begin …
can be the hardest part. I tend to peruse through photos from my hikes & the many books on my shelves. It’s the most daunting part of creating a rug for me. But once I get started, it’s hard to stop me. #rug #mat #fiberart #textile #maggiebathoryart #hookedrug #rughooking #hookingrugs
Peonies in Spring; my most recent work. At 12x13 inches, it’s small in comparison to the larger rugs I make. I’m always drawn to vivid colors that make me happy. #rug #fiberart #hookedrug #rughooking #hookingrugs
While I’m making my rugs, the colors & shapes blend together & there aren’t distinctive lines delineating the motifs from each other & the background. I have to step back & look at my work from far away; then the design makes sense. #fiberartist #rughooking #hookingrugs #hookedrug
Vivid Spring. A burst of colorful fields & flowers. #rug #rughooking #hookedrug #hookingrugs #textile #fiberartist #fiberart #art #wool #create #maggiebathoryart
Have creative block? Try hooking 2 8x8 inch mats using analogous colors, and after you’re finished, observe how these colors make you feel. Want to make more observations? Hook another 8x8 mat using complimentary colors. Observe the differences. #rughooking #hookedrug #hookingrugs #fiberart #art
