A HUGE thank you to Jan at Punch Drunk Needleworks for making this adorable yarn hook pillow for Kara. Jan spotted this painting Kara did on canvas for me a few months ago. I had blogged about how much I loved it...
She contacted me and asked about using the image in a piece of her artwork. I said sure! Then, she kept in touch while she was making it. She decided to do a yarn hook to practice for some rug hooking she planned to do with wool. Take a look at the work in progress from Jan's blog...
The best part is when she was done, she made it into a pillow. Isn't she so sweet!? Kara loves it. She won't let the Bassets near it! lol Take a look at this lovely piece from Jan's blog -
There are so many art forms out there. I realize the mediums I like to play with just scratch the surface. I love meeting anyone that enjoys getting their hands into a project. It has been a pleasure, Jan. Thank you so much for this little treasure.
