Jean Wentzell has a special place on one of her walls to hang a rug. She decided to do seasonal pieces that she can change to reflect the time of year. So far she has completed the fall, Patches and winter, Winter Games. It's easy to think Christmas when considering a design for winter but she requested that I design it whimsical and about the season, not just the holiday.
Featured is the spring installment called First Signs and Jean is currently hooking it. The big screen door makes a perfect border, framing an outdoor scene of the garden where robins socialize around the bird bath. A picket fence separates the sky from the ground adding a point of interest in the middle of the design to merge the two. There will be a lot of green in this piece; the tree leaves, the bushes, grass and daffodil and tulip leaves, a challenge but with varying depts and mixtures of colour with a sprinkle of texture it will be outstanding.
I love this project. Seasonal rugs barely hit the floor when they have to be taken up. This way there is always one in play for viewing and becasue they hang on the wall they will provide many years of enjoyment. Jean has started the one for Spring and will be finished in plenty of time for the season. Next will be a summer design with all the fun and beautiful possibilities this season explores. Stay tuned!
