Close Ups

Well, well, I guess Danny thought he would outdo his cousin, Bill, with the heavy rain and high winds. I guess we criticized Bill too much because he was so mild, so Danny decided to sneak in without too much hoopla...:) and Da,da,loads of the wet stuff....

I said yesterday I would post a couple close up pictures of different sections of my mat to show the materials that I use. I didn't have much luck because each pic. I took was very light and justice is not done to the area that I am trying to get. So I decided I would post two for now and probably later today will see if I can get another couple. Here goes!!!

The speckled grey is 100% wool, the other greys are sweatshirt. As you can see, a small amount of white is showing because the back of the sweatshirt is white and when you cut the end, a small amount will show but that is ok, at least for me. I oftentimes turn the material so that I get a diffetent color/effect from whatever I am using at the time.
The Blue is fleecey material {100%polyester} with a completely different material in between {look closely, the darker blue} and the Pale blue separating the green is t-shirt. Again, the other greens are just a combination of whatever bits of shirts, pants, housecoats, whatever, I have already cut up for other projects.

As you see, I am not Great at explaining. It wasn't a gift I received. Hope this helps, though

.OOps!!, just realized I don't have a picture of the finished rug here yet and so you can't see what I am talking about with regards to the "GREENS". I will post the full mat tomorrow as I have it finished now. Just the sewing of the labels, blocking, etc. to be done now....
