Randy's snowsuit looked a little too light compared to the rest of the rug, so rather than reverse hook, I coffee stained it. I think it toned it down just enough. Now I am undecided if I need to tone down the flesh colors of their heads. Thoughts?
My Granny Donaldson cow blanket rug is D.O.N.E. I can't believe I have two hooking finishes done in less that a week. (We are not going to talk about binding . . . ugh.)
Thanks so much for stopping by.

It’s just outstanding! Randy looks great.Next challenge I will join in!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed this one Lauren and didn't miss your whining at all, lol. Betsy finished hers too so will post both pictures on my blog. Thanks for participating and, uh, I've got mine to bind plus finish binding Winter Buddies.
ReplyDeleteLove your Granny rug !!! Maybe in person the faces look brighter than in the picture ? Now you need a binding competition , who ever wins gets a bottle of Wine !!! LOL
ReplyDeleteYour rug looks great. I don't know if it's because the time is flying fast, but I find that this challenge went by rather quickly. It sure kept you girls busy. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's rug finished.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Julia
It looks wonderful! I don't think you need to tone down the faces.

My computer screen the faces look a bit brighter than the other muted colors, but the choice is up to you. Do what you like. Looks better than I could do. Janice
ReplyDeleteWhat a great rug!! I have ended up loving these so much more than I ever thought I would. You, of course, are always the overachiever LOL. As for the faces....hmmm??? In this photo they look a bit white, but I remember seeing them in your progress posts and thinking they were perfect. I vote leave them...If, after living with them for a while, you decide they are too bright, you can always tweak them then. Soooo....what's next on your frame??? ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteYour rug is very pretty. The faces do seem a bit bright compared to the rest on this photo. But I'm going to side with Robin - leave it for now, and tone it down later if it continues to bother you.
ReplyDeleteI just came from Saundra's blog and the faces don't seem quite so bright there? Or it could be I need more coffee.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Lauren,
ReplyDeleteYour rug turned out wonderful. I really love the colors you chose and I think your Granny rug turned out amazing.
Great job!
Faces stand out in the overall effect.
ReplyDeleteTry just a light wash over them...
Then they will balance out in the picture.
Otherwise...great job on the rug!
