New Hooked Rug-Hooked “Sign”/Sunnie

 

Update…progress on my silly sign with “the guys”!!!  LOL

**************************************************************

Before I get started on my next rug, I’m finishing up a few things!!!

I thought you might enjoy seeing the sign I am hooking for my booth and for any displays I might have with my “funny” rugs!!  LOL

(I have had people asking me for several years why I don’t hook a sign for my booth…and I have a more “sedate” one designed to do later on, but this was too much fun!!)  : )

When I was looking at medieval designs for the idea for “Tom Foolery”, I found several jesters, fools, jugglers and even clown pictures that looked fun to play with!  I decided to do a sign using a couple of figures and played with the design of these two goofy guys!!!!  LOL

This is the top of the rug and I’ll do my lettering below.  I’ll post a picture when I get the lettering done.  (Whoops, I see where I need to take out a bit of the light lavender and put in the darker purple to continue the ruffle on the left figure!)  : )

I had dyed a couple of wool pieces in yellows and apricots so thought I’d use that for a “warm” background!!  The faces were a “hoot” to do…such fun!!!  LOL

 

Happy Hooking!  : )

New Hooked Rug-Mystery Revealed!/Day 25~Sunnie

TA-DAH!!!!!!  Now you just knew that “Tom Foolery” would be the only guy who would turn up on one of my silly rugs!!!  LOL

I had been looking at medieval illustrations of jesters, clowns, and fools and found one where I liked the top part of the design!  I adapted it to suit myself and then drew the rest of the rug to give it a “foolish” look.  : )   The border changes also show a touch of “tomfoolery” as he blows, not music but balls (rubber, perhaps!!) from his horn!

A closeup of his funny face (below)… and you can also see the grey/cream plaid background with the tiny touch of blue in it!  ; )

I hope you have enjoyed seeing Tom emerge from the wool and  had fun coming along on this adventure with me!  When I have him steamed, I’ll hang him up and take a better picture!  But at least you can see him in living colour!!!  : )

The top part of the rug!   (below)

This rug gives you three ideas for borders on fun rugs. Of course, you might want them more “precise” than mine…I like the random look!!!  LOL

I’m starting another rug and will post pictures here in a day or two!!!

Happy Hooking!!  : )

New Hooked Rug-MYSTERY 2/Day 23~Sunnie

I really like the way his face turned out and the lettering!!!!  Can’t show that yet…but it’s almost there.. !!! LOL

 More border work, a little background. a leaf to do and he’ll be done!!!  I hope you have enjoyed seeing him develop and are getting creative ideas of your own!!!  ; )  We all need a little fun in our homes, our lives and our rug hooking journeys!  LOL
