As I said, Ali Strebel is the queen of working with alternative hooking methods and fibers. Here are some examples that clearly show what I am talking about.
I just love the finishing technique on this little mat.
Ali hooked this from a photograph of her dad. He is even wearing wire rimmed glasses. Absolutely amazing!!!
My progress after two days. The center of the sunflower is clipped loops (though hard to tell because of the wool I chose) and the round blue flowers are little needle felted "pillows" sewn on with a narrow wool strip. The only thing left to plan are the leaves and we have a idea for those.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

I absolutely love your colors and your alternative/creative additions are fine. Ali certainly made fantastic eyes on her dad.
ReplyDeleteYour piece is looking lovely. I think you chose the right design for this technique.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you had fun. I like the green leave too.
Talke care, hugs.

Very interesting. Ali's rug for her dad is just amazing. I do like the one with the quilt on the left and of course the one you are doing. Cannot wait to see your finish. Great job! Janice
ReplyDeleteJust amazing all the different techniques....but her Father !!WOW !!! I Love what you are doing and the sweet little matt with the patchwork ! Very fun to see !!!
ReplyDeleteI really am loving this way more than I thought I would (even though I'm familiar with Ali's "style")...and. way more than I should. Absolutely blown away by those hearts...and of course "Dad"...and yours. A perfect melding of your primitive, muddy, palettes with the unique Ali influence. I knew you would make it perfectly you. This mat is going to be one of my most favorite yet - and you've hooked many favorites in my book. ~Robin~
