It's no different among some of my rug hooking friends, although I hope the term is being used affectionately. My goal in taking this course was to explore a more relaxed approach to rug hooking, to use a variety of textured materials and to hook with wider cuts. This 12” x 18” piece was hooked on burlap with yarn, roving, new and recycled wool strips in mostly #5 and #6 cuts. When I attempted to hook more randomly I quickly discovered that it's harder to do than it looks. But I am pretty pleased with the water and the background hills. And who would have thought that hooking a dory would be so challenging? It took several attempts before it resembled a dory rather than a football! Although I can see areas that could be improved, (Oops, there's the perfectionist in me coming out again), I hope to apply what I've learned to future projects.
