Laura Pierce workshop

What a wonderful 3 days. Laura Pierce few across the country to Maryland for a Mason Dixon Atha Guild workshop in Ellicott City. Just a half hour ride from my house... it was perfect!! I learned so much from Laura... I had always wondered about those green and purple shadows on portraits and now I know all about it. I also learned from the other 13 hookers gathered to learn "large cut portraits" from Laura. My project was a semi-old black and white picture of my husband, Robin, and myself that I really liked. Converting it to color gave me a lot of challenge but freedom to use my own imagination. I'd like to try it again in sepia and colorized.

Left is Lissa Williamson and Laura Pierce looking at Lissa's "snarl" oriental rug.

Trying to get Robin's eyes looking at the viewer (below)... and he still needs some work ... but then who doesn't... ha ha

SOLD

I also sold my "stary night" totebag on ETSY!! And have sold several of my original rug hooking frame covers with the pocket for storage and the flap for hooking AND with arm protection... sounds like an armored car!!! but these are soft versitile covers which double as an arm saver and a equipment bag... Order yours now with a fabric of your choice!!! Just $25.00 on etsy or ebay... and free shipping!!

I'm back!!!! Don't know where I went but I have some things to show off, some secrets that I can't. Wanted to show off some labels that I've been selling at Maryland Shores Rug School and now am selling on my etsy store (and soon ebay). These are a necessary evil all must have when showing there rugs at a show and why not make them "snappy". I sell a sheet of 6 premade labels for $5.00, a sheet of 4 personalized labels for $7.00 ($5.00 additional sheets) and $5.00 for a personalized story label with a picture of your rug. Also you can get address labels, custom greeting cards, t-shirts, totebags, etc... Let your mind soar!!!
