A rug hooked mat for the top of a very little box.
The lid of this lacquered wood box measures 3.5in. x 3.5in. (8.89cm x 8.89cm)
Very little space to place a design into.
I sketched out a few swirly flourish type designs on a scrap of paper...experimenting with what could be placed in this small space.
I hooked this simple design using a #4 cut (1/8in.) of hand dyed wool.
I thought the swirly design would compliment the inside of this box, which I love.
Due to the smallness of this mat, I chose to whip the edges
with 6 strands of embroidery floss to match the wool.
I secured the hooked mat to the top of the lid with a permanent adhesive.
