Bolder colors continue

The above three rugs were worked on while experimenting with color.  All three were also fashioned after photos of antique rugs but I modified the patterns to make them fit in a miniature setting. Francine needed quite a bit of modifying and now when I look at the original photo, it is hard to tell that it was what inspired this rug.  That is what I find fun about designing.  I may start with one idea and it soon morphs into something different entirely.  I love to see what I end up with in the end.  Ariel used the idea of diagonal lines that I saw in a rug photo but the motifs I used are my own and seemed to fit the rug well.  Erin looks the most like the original antique rug that I used for my inspiration.
