"This rug was inspired by all the beautiful tropical foliage. We have a wonderful horticultural hall called the Domes in Milwaukee. On a winter day, I went and took loads of photos of these incredible plants. I love the colors, shapes, and designs of the leaves. To add even more interest, I added some exotic bugs. Some of them are done Waldoboro style; some have added embellishments."
