I haven't written kudos for a long time. However I follow you religiously and love how you balance working the land, photography, art and writing. I'm getting there-just eons away from your mastering it all. Please continue on your journey. It is a gift you share with many faithful followers.Sue Watershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822026812079423556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-32516604483001730012013-09-19T09:25:09.277-04:002013-09-19T09:25:09.277-04:00Thanks so much for the nice comments.
Centa, no, ...Thanks so much for the nice comments.<br /><br />Centa, no, I haven't written anything but lots and lots of blog posts on my textile work. I use chemical dyes to color the wool fabric. Finished pieces could be sewn together with needle and thread. All my fully hooked textiles are finished on the back with rug binding. If you look at the posts under technique: rug hooking and look through all the older posts, you'll see a lot of information on the technique: http://altoonsultan.blogspot.com/search/label/technique%3Arug%20hooking?max-results=20Altoon Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743040814034732581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-68213656895291283582013-09-19T04:58:34.052-04:002013-09-19T04:58:34.052-04:00I love the way that you have hooked these, with th...I love the way that you have hooked these, with the directions of line or whirl. I desperately wanted to get hold of the elements of the diptych, to play about with their relationships. I wanted to try them closer together - and to try them with their backs to each other too.

I haven't visited in some time but one of my seniors with Dementia used to do rug hooking and I though that some very simplified version of what you are doing might make for a great collaborative project where the individual finished pieces could be looped together...?<br /><br />I'm also having to consider chemical sensitivities. I thought YES Paste would be fine, and acrylic medium... May have to rethink the paints and do the media myself on projects that could benefit from it. <br /><br />Have you written a book on your rug hook paintings?<br /><br />best,Centa CTheresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06544118533079981744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-40015457495039827882013-09-18T22:23:27.213-04:002013-09-18T22:23:27.213-04:00These are a lot of fun Altoon!!
