Stevie loved my "wedding" tapestry and asked me to try one of her pictures... then she left to shoot a wedding. I looked on her blog and found this picture. It is Seth holding his neice Aspen. Isn't that a cool name!!! So again I made a pattern, this time on "hookable" wool. A nice grayish tint that reminded me of a needlepoint piece my grandmother had done many many moons ago. also I wanted to try to duplicate it with a style I'd seen somewhere before where to picture isn't completed on the edges. Maybe I just didn't want to hook the whole thing... but I came pretty close to the whole picture... just Seth's hair mostly.... usually it is a shaved head with stubble... but now it is longer and wavy. So what do you think?
