Wine Bottle Sacks

These were a hit at Xmas time. ( with full bottles )

Bear

This was the second mat that was hooked with hand cut wool strips, of garments as found, regarding colour. This one I still have.

Orca

This is the first mat I hooked after coming back from Newfoundland, where I was first introduced to mat hooking. I had no instruction and knew nothing about fabric dyeing.
My wife Dorothy, on the next trip to the maritimes, left it on a picnic bench in Newbrunswick. I did hook her another one .

Brandy at Bates Beach

My dog Brandy enjoys swiming and playing on the beach.

Wheat Field with Cypresses - Van Gough

"Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together"
(Vincent Van Gogh)

My first attempt at adapting a masters painting to wool.

Bamboo Forest

Mormon Trail

Some of my ancestors, some 150 years ago, travelled over the Mormon Trail. (Perhaps not in this good condition.)
The first to go over the trail used hand carts and only took the absolute necessities to see them thru the 1700 miles from Nauvoo, Illinois to Salt Lake City, Utah.
