Tombstone Angel



After all my obsessing about the green wool, it was so worth it.  I have drooled looked at the Tombstone Angel on Pinterest for the longest time.  When I finally began pulling wools for the rug, the green wool was no where to be found.  I searched high and low and no green wool.  Franklin has a new shop called Bittersweet Primitives and they carry a selection of wools for hooked rugs.  The owner of the shop is a (rug) hooker and is planning to offer classes.  There was a nice selection of green wools and I purchased several for the tombstone angel.  Of course, Murphy's Law is alive and well and when I returned home with my purchase, I found the stash of green wool.

Am so happy I obsessed about the green wool because the finished product is so worth it.  The background green wool reminds me of the lichens growing on old tombstones.

Tombstone Angel--she will be so fun to decorate with during Halloween.

    How wonderful you have a new prim shop that carries wool - WHEEE - nothing more fun than perusing for new wool. I LOVE your choice of greens and the finish is just so cool ! I have an angel my friend Katie drew for me for my birthday year before last - I better get that out and see what I can do with it. See there - now you've gone and done it again Betty! hope you have a great coming week - Mel

    Isn't that just always the way it goes? I was hunting for one of my rulers a few weeks ago. Couldn't find it so I bought another one. Then the first one showed up almost immediately! ARGH! Your tombstone angel rug looks great with the green background - I made a similar one years ago using just shades of grey to look like stone - it's one of my favorites!
