Britta with Love

This is my “grand dog”, Britta.  I loved hooking this.  If you want a color plan for your pet, send me a color OR preferably, black and white photo.  It’s helpful to be a closeup. Head portraits are good, although full body works too.I will color it, get your approval, and send you a full size poster for a fee of $50. If you want me to transfer the image onto linen, it’s an extra $40.  This process takes about 3 weeks.

“The Couple”

19″ x 27″, new pattern, done with wool, silk, ribbon, yarn, on linen.  Hooked with love…

“Clowning Around”

35″ diameter new design, hooked in 8-cut.  Great for any floor or wall.  This was difficult to draw.  If anyone knows how to draw a perfect 35″ DIAMETER CIRCLE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. And this also calls for a 33-1/8″ circle within the circle.  After it’s been hooked, I’m looking for tech help in re-drawing it. Still, it’s available on my web site. http://www.offthehookwoolrugs.com
