017 – Stop Photo Copying your Rug
Episode 017 Use a photo of a rug for reference, but create your own vision
If you don’t create your own unique works, who will? Only YOU can hook YOUR rugs. Your colors. Your shapes. Your stories. No one else sees the world exactly the way you do—and that’s your greatest creative power.
While a photocopy your rug can be a handy reference, don’t be timid about venturing off on your own. If you need more help about rug hooking, you can get it in my online color planning course, Practical Color Planning for Rug Hookers.
