Primitive Black Doll Rachael & Rug Hooked Bees

On Ebay Now

What do you think of these funny bees???

These crazy bees were a lot of fun to create. My favorite is the one on the top left. I think that maybe God should have made bees this color.

Let me know what you think.
I may be offering these as an extra to the students enrolled in my Tutorial.

The two on the top are a bit of a challenge to create. So I think these would be a intermediate class not a beginner class.

For those signed up in my tutorial if you pop in here let me know if you would like me to teach these.

Trying Hairless Linen

I have been asked whether hairless linen will work in Dimensional Rug hooking. I am working on a piece right now that is drawn on hairless linen and will keep you posted on what I think of this backing for a 3-D dimensional piece.

Progress on the Bee Skep Pattern. This pattern should be available next week.

Today finds us traveling to a new back yard. On our way to Las Cruces New Mexico.

Progress

The bee Themed piece is coming along nicely. All the hooking is done and I did get to start on the assembly. This is going to work.

Some times with dimensional rug hooking when you first envision something it just doesn't turn out as you envision it. I can say this doesn't seem to happen often though.

Will post a photo soon of the finished project. Look for more details about the on-line tutorial to be posted soon.

Would love to hear from you if you are interested please post a comment.
