Janet's "Scream"

Finished at last! Munch's "Scream" reinterpreted by Janet Beck.

"Changing"

"Changing", size 14" x 20", is by new member Jeroo Roy. She started and finished it between meetings!

She says, "I am an artist and my medium has always been paint brushes and papers and canvas. But due to eye problem, further enhanced by effects of 'Stop Smoking' pills, I had not touched a paint brush for more then a year. But last September when I was in Canada, my friend Helen Dyer who now lives in New Brunswick, took me to Deanne Fitzpatrick’s shop in Nova Scotia and it was there it occurred to me and I can paint pictures through rug hooking."

Silent Spirit

Designed and hooked by Jill Izzard

This large Wall Rug was hooked using 100% Dupion Silk and then sheared to create a textured surface.

It is very heavy measuring approx 150 x 80 cms.

I have named this rug 'Silent Spirit'.

The rug hanging will be exhibited within Textile Expressions Gallery at the Knitting and Stitching Show to be held at Alexandra Palace in London from 6 - 9 October 2011 and then exhibited at The Harrogate International Centre during late November 2011.
