"After Chimera, I was ready to continue with bright colors, so a peacock was the perfect project. The head and neck were fun to hook. The background was an experiment. I made weak dye solutions of the colors in the feathers and spot dyed the wool. Most of this rug was hooked in the car on trips to and from visiting my son in college. The trip took 11 hours each way, and I spent most of that time hooking. I always say I would never have finished all those feathers if it wasn’t for those car trips."
