"Vintage Roses"

With this piece I was trying to create a rug that looked like it had been plucked out of the past. The colours are reminiscent of what I remember seeing as a child. You can hang this piece on the wall or use it on the floor. This piece won first prize at the RNA show in Brisbane.
Hand tufted Rug made from 100% Wool. Hand dyed using a blend of Natural and synthetic Dyes.
