Other projects I have worked on during Covid
I made four alphabet pillows. There are 14 inches square and were fun to color plan and hook.
I made a Covid rug starting with an image from the artist, Wyeth. I then making a stuffed mask with wrapped wires; cutting letters from labels for words and adding them to leather; using a tie-printed piece of wool for the top; and embroidied and stuffed covid pieces sewn down on the rug.
I took an on-line class on botnical printing on wool. Learned about the process but I have a lot to practice.
I finished a rug I started many years ago because I could not get inspiration. This year I used nylons for the skin and it worked well. I had finished the fish many years ago so I did their clothes and added some glitter threads for the earrings. I did change the faces and shoes. I like it now. I just need to finish the edges.
I found some abandoned bee hive pieces and used those for the centers of sunflowers. I did make sure all prospectie bees were gone.
I have a bucket with a top in which I keep wool year. I found a pattern at Wooly Mason so I finished that one up for the top to this bucket.
I finished up another McGown workshop project called Lima.
