You've made a lot of progress on that rug and what you've done looks great! All your farm adventures are something else! I don't know how people farm or raise cattle or pigs their whole life! What a lot of work! But those of that don't farm are very grateful to those who do!<br /><br />CharCharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08854204361973832029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-28899587863152127632013-06-12T09:40:52.631-03:002013-06-12T09:40:52.631-03:00I love your rug, Julia.

I do agree that the pig looks like it is standing on a braided rug :) Maybe if you had the mud puddle be all horizontal lines and have it not quite so high up the pig, with some of the green from the cow's background brought over?<br />I look forward to seeing your resolution!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545713753520362397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-78200474617896660302013-06-11T23:29:06.832-03:002013-06-11T23:29:06.832-03:00This comment has been removed by the author.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02432551102952866431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-18732773013333891832013-06-11T23:27:19.923-03:002013-06-11T23:27:19.923-03:00Love your yard and your farm storiesLove your yard and your farm storiesAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02432551102952866431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-33708231824366903892013-06-11T15:06:42.608-03:002013-06-11T15:06:42.608-03:00Ha,ha,ha, now why didn't I think of that...

I am no rug hooker, but just looking at it, it seems like your pig is on a oval braided rug. I was thinking maybe a little more of a faded angle near the tail area so it doesn't look so much that shape, some of the back ground color showing more near the rump on him, instead of the mud. Sort of like how perspective narrows things in the distance? If that makes any sense at all. Hope to see more as you go, I think it's a beautiful work of art., Congratulations on becoming a great grand mother!anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269208573774815462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-13757775042648391762013-06-10T10:19:15.814-03:002013-06-10T10:19:15.814-03:00You are amazing!
