I am trying my hand at woodblock carving and printing and loving the carving process - the printing not so much wow it is tough to make a good print

Tahoe Bear Rug



I finished this rug about 8 months ago - it took me about 6 months to finish it - It measures about 3 feet by 4 feet. I loved working on it because there were so many different parts - The bears are needle-felted and the border is a faux fur - it is my least favorite part of the rug - and isn't holding up very well to the abuse it takes - so I will not be doing this type of border again.

Tree of Life yoga mat/rug


Tree of Life yoga mat
3 feet by 5 feet
made with wool, silk, yarn
This rug took me a while to make, I would say about a year ! We had alot going on during that year , we moved twice and one move was across the country, so there was that element, I struggled at times but never thought I wouldnt finish it I really wanted to do yoga and meditate on it , so I knew I would finish. I finally used a couple of weeks ago , at a Kundalini yoga class in Berkley, it was worth the effort ( I think ) :-)
