Rhapsody in Red Jan Haines

At the beginning of this project I thought I would struggle with the colour red.  While I like  the color red I have always found it hard to work with.  However, my design came from lichens and as you can see, as lichen grows, so did the rug.  It is 99.9% wool fabric and yarn on a Monks Cloth base with a wool blanket backing.  The size of the rug is 17½” x 24”.  Now it is finished I really am pleased with it.
