| I figured out the middle, fish. I had drawn a dove but it looked weird upside down so left it blank. Hubby is a keen fisherman. KEEN. And looking at ancient mosaic floor images I caught the vibe! Inspired also by Heronimous Bosh and his weirdly scaled creatures... I’m busting to start and determined not to yet. |

| I need to slightly tweak the fish so they read from both ends and have no right side up. Follow the tag ‘Hall Rug’ for a progression. |

| I was given a couple of hessian coffee bags and the size lends itself to being a hall rug. We’ll have a hallway when we renovate. It’s a bit over 2 metres long. I’ve collected designs on Pinterest for some time and made a Short List folder and the feeling became clear. The pictures are largely German folk paintings but remind me of Heronemous Bosch, a favourite. Maybe it’ll change more, who knows? It’s not hard to over draw. |

| This time, unlike the footy rug, I’ll use colours that fit with how we intend to decorate. Old colours I suppose, though these things change. The figures look a bit cheesy here, but I can imagine them subtlety done and not dominant. No hurry though, I have the other rug to finish. Oh, two other rugs. Look here.https://www.pinterest.com.au/robynemelia/rug-hooking-inspiration-for-rugs/hall-rug-short-list/ |

| I want to use old clothes and my fabric stash, not wool. |
