My grandson is also fascinated with watching and helping me rug hook. He likes to cut the wool strips and hand them to me. Sometimes I catch him trying to hook the strips. So I thought maybe I should hook him a rug. I am more drawn to primitive styles so the question is are robots primitive? Could I hook a rug using a robot? Well I did and here it is!
I made the robot holding a bluebird walking in a forest of metal beam trees. I had to put knobs and gages on him. when I first started hooking his face I thought oh no he looks like Elmo.
Here are some close ups.
So did I pull off the primitive robot? In the end what matters is that my grandson likes it, right?
You did a fabulous job!! You created a memory for your grandson that will last him a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteYour robot is wonderful. I am also hooking a rug for my grandson - he was the first family member to say he'd like to have one of my rugs. I adapted a photo of him playing soccer as my pattern. My husband is the little boy who would love a robot rug! ...jan
