As I hook my way through the grapes, I've been watching video lessons at Cindi Gray's "Rug Hooking Journey". One of the chapters was this Little Flower pattern. Cindi designed this little project for those who wanted to do more than just a square as their first project. Originally, I skipped it - since I'm kinda of a "go big or go home" type of girl. Now though, it looked like a nice palette cleanser to the grapes. | Creations - Quilts, Art, Whatever by Nina-Marie Sayre
Okay, I'm not one to complain, but who ever thought putting 4 values of wool strips in one little thumb print size circle sounded like a fun, needs to take a long look at their definition of fun! I spent my rug hooking time this week doing gradated grapes. In 4 different gradations. In two different purples. Not only is it a lot of work trying to get your loops somewhat smooth in little circles but also it's a lot of, "so where is the light source for this grape? Is that dark enough...| ninamariesayre.blogspot.com

See how the focal point is not in the right place? This actually was set to be a diagonal composition. Instead the focal point was too high throwing off the rhythm. Also, that curve on the left needed some major help. Maybe for fabric it would work - and that's a major maybe - but for wool it definitely wasn't going to cut it. Wool, by its nature is just that much more beefy . | ninamariesayre.blogspot.com
