Recently I received some very beautiful photos of hooked rugs from a gal in Greece that I posted on my Facebook page. Due to a bit of a language barrier I mistook them for being hooked because they definitely looked the part, but they are apparently done by embroidery and ladies and gentlemen, this is not the embroidery that my mother used to make. These pieces are outstanding, each one more beautiful than then next! Incredible designs and colour choices make these gorgeous works of art absolutely breathtaking! I am sure all you rug hookers will agree these designs are very conducive to both crafts. I could go on and on about her unique style of design and impeccable sense of colour but I think the pictures will tell all, each one speaking volumes!
I asked her a series of questions and through an interpreter she replied. I am so happy to introduce you to the work of Eυγενία Κούμπουλη. I’m sure she’ll create a bit of fiber drool with this sampling of her work. I find it very satisfying to share her accomplishments, women supporting women in our passions!
This is what she wrote:
It is my pleasure that you promote my work! The designs are mine. I draw on canvas whatever come out of my mind and secondly I paint my designs with DMC product. I don't know what you mean by the hook, I am doing embroidery and I use simple sewing needles with DMC threads.
I embroider many years about twenty but I make my own designs since last year. Except those I give as a gift to my friends the rest of them I use to sell. But until now I haven’t sold any of my designs. First I do the design on a piece of cloth, then I choose the colours and after I embroider.
Yes I am self-taught and there is nobody near me that is dealing with something like that. They only like it. I thank you very much for your spontaneous interest about my work. It is very important for me to share my passion and love with other people with the same interests. I am really flattered that you are going to make a blog about my work!
I also want to take some good pictures to send you on doing my work to know better about the way and the steps I am following. I will send you the way I am painting on my table and the type of my needle. With pleasure and respect,
Genny or Ευγενία
