Sharing My Wool rug hooking pattern on linen background.

Description

This pattern is my original design and will be on drawn onto a linen background. I working on a smaller version paper pattern, with permission to enlarge or reduce for personal use only. Convo if you are interested in a paper pattern before it appears in my shop. If you live on another continent I'm willing to ship at cost, convo me with your address so I can let you know what that would be, and I could set up a reserved sale for you if you wish it.

The rug is 20 inches by 25 inches with a generous 4 inch extension on each side to allow easily putting it on your frame or hooping. The picture is of my own version of this rug, which uses a hit and miss background. NOTICE my adaptation of the lamb's tongue shape to look like a cat's front paws set in pairs around three sides of the rug. Along the bottom edge of the rug is the caption, Sharing My Wool. Those of us with cats do share our wool. In fact, this caption could be taken whimsically to mean that the cat is sharing the wool they so love to sleep on with us!

To achieve the pattern on my cat, I took a picture of him sleeping in the basket, (he is frequently out hunting in the evening when I'm hooking):) I used textures from upcycled men's sportcoats *between 6-12 different wools* Did variations in the cat paws to show different looks. If you have a seal point, a marmalade tiger, a tuxedo cat or virtually any other type, you could immortalize them with this rug. Long haired cats can have proddy parts or long cut strips worked for their tails or wherever you need to add fluffiness.

If you are interested in a custom hooked portrait of your own cat, but not a rug hooker, I would welcome an alchemy request in my custom work button. Ball park for a rug of the same size would be $200 - $300 dollars. I would need to have a photo of the cat or more than 1, preferably including any specific markings on the face or body, to be successful.
