Waves

Waves 22"x16" designed prodded and owned by Cilla Cameron in 2011 in Nottinghamshire. The mat was prodded from the back with a wooden prodder using recycled hand dyed and as is wool material cut 2"long x 1/2" wide. My friend Miriam Miller's grandson David made a cushion with lovely block colours in a wavy pattern I loved the movement and so design the rug below. You can see the cushion on page 49 in Miriams book Proggy and Hooky Rugs. Actually this is the third one I have made the two previous ones are now sold.

Yorkshire Barn



Yorkshire Barn 44"x29" designed prodded and owned by Cilla Cameron. Made with recycled hand dyed and as is wool material eg blanket, skirts jackets and jumpers cutting the pieces 2"long x 1/2" wide. Made approx. eight years ago in Nottinghamshire. I took the photograph of this barn in Grisedale above Hawes in Nth Yorks and thought it would make a nice proddy mat. I enlarged the photograph and transferred it to a hessian backing adding the stone wall border. The sky on the photograph was very dull so I studied skies and chose a brighter blue. I prodded it from the back with a wooden prodder.
