I'm heading out the door to dog class but had to snoop when I saw this....
I haven't hooked any rugs in a long time (I was a LOT more crafty when I was a teenager), but I've always wanted to try my hand at doing an original (from scratch) pic but with hooked rugs. If you stitch or sketch, I don't think it would be that much different. Right? I think I would do the outlines first and fill in between.
I used to come up with pic designs with knitting quilts. One quilt I did had everything that "meant" something to me when I was a teenager. Like each big square was a pic - so a Red Wings logo design, goldens, birds, dragonflies, butterflies... cats....other stuff. I gave it to my mom and have NO IDEA where she's storing it.
*** I love the style of rugs on this site<;
