Mary Schlech has been a busy hooker. She sent some eye candy for me to share. I've known Mary for sometime and really admire her richly saturated colour choices. It is always a pleasure to see what she is up too. Generally she designs and hooks relevant topics of her travels to far away places and people she's met so it is a thrill that she finds pleasure in hooking some of our designs. Above she has hooked our pattern "Holly" one of the 43 Christmas Stocking designs on my Seasonal Designs Page. I love the addition of the starfish and might incorporate them in the pattern as a keeper! She created the two flanking Santas for Jake and John, two lucky guys for sure.
The above design is called "Native Fish". Hooked in a rich palette of earthy tones Mary brought this piece to life. At first glance one might think it is only sky peaking through the trees but the design is more sophisticated in that the shape of the trees define the same shape from the opposite view. I love the multi-oranges and golds in the sun like a plumage of feathers are fanning out. This is a nature piece that incorporates a bit of geometric flavour. Great job! I am hoping Mary can bring this rug in for a better picture as the darkening on the ends aren't telling the true tale of it's perfection. Fabulous!
Susan Leslie's "Fish" design hooked in richly saturated blues. Always a favourite of mine so of course my eye falls on this rug with favour. Fish within fish without any background, how exciting!
As always thanks for sharing Mary. I look forward to seeing you and the new design you've been working on.....it's always a pleasure!
