Sweet old Willow Tree Rug Hooking.
Can you guess what the 'frame' is ??
This frame used to hold a mirror
on top of a 1950's dresser, or bureau.
The mirror was cracked. I decided to not replace
the mirror, but rather hooked a rug
to fit into the opening.
The hooked rug measures 28in. x 24in.
The frame measures 38in. x 33in.
This piece is very HEAVY and needed to be hung
using anchors in the wall.
The dresser is now just a chest of drawers
without it's swinging mirror.

However, there are times when it takes
much more strength to know when to let go
and then do it."

ReplyDeleteHi Rose, just had a wonderful evening reading post after post. Love the way you write about your crafty doings. Looking forward to many more
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful design. Love your framing idea also.
ReplyDeleteI so want to give this a try someday, will add it to my list.
I'm in awe Rose! What a beautiful project you've made - and you didn't even give us a sneak peek of it during construction! Using the old mirror frame was a brilliant idea - did you leave the finish on the frame as it was originally? Or does it have fresh paint? The rug itself is great - your version of a family rug, huh? The border is perfect for it..... I'm so glad you shared this with us!
ReplyDeleteOh Rose, this is fantastic. What a beautiful way to present the work. You never cease to amaze me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful piece! I love it. and a great quote.

ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful Rose. I do like that frame and hooking that willow tree is incredible. I love the detail you gave to it. Your loops are just perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe framing is really nice too. I think that is a nice way to use that mirror frame.
