Background and Calligraphy Combined























I love this Scripture and I love combining calligraphy with backgrounds that I have created.
I have not been able to paint very much lately and I am ready to just not be so busy with other things. I bought the supplies to hook a rug with strips of fabric. There was a lady at the quilt show hooking one with fabric strips and I was mesmerized and just had to buy the supplies to make one. I told her I wanted to be a hooker too and she said ok but this was her corner and I should find another one!

  1. I love your backgrounds...now I can't WAIT to see your hooking. (Which corner??)!!! I created a handwoven rug from wool fibers many many years ago...you're making me think...? It was so much fun. Enjoy your day!

  2. And you do such a great job of combining your backgrounds and scripture. You know, those would be beautiful cards!

    I started a hooked rug many, many years ago. I never did finish it!!
    Can't remember why now, I really did enjoy doing it.

  3. Martha, I don't think hooking is frowned upon in the mixed-media world. So go at it!!! You are hilarious!! Can I be your side-kick?

  5. This piece is gorgeous!! My front door rug is one I created using strips of fabric "hooking." It's very washable and durable!
