THE
TOADSTOOL RUG
Absolutely
loved Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and wondered why I had'nt come across him
before. The colours and repetition were what inspired this rug. I have always wanted to use toadstools in a
rug design and this gave me the opening I needed. Thanks Fred!
The
design came easily for once and the decision to use lots of different shaped
toadstools made sense to me as I wanted repetition without too much uniformity.The
rug is entirely punch needled using handspun Jacob wool on the borders,
handspun and hand dyed wools in the toadstools and Axminster rug yarn for the
green background. The whole rug is made
on Monks Cloth with a woven wool backing fabric. The size is 21 1/2” by 15 1/2”.
