There are many reasons why area rugs are fundamental for a room's design, however the most significant mistake people make is the rug sizing.

Plans were to have a substantial amount more hooked on the Star Geometric but it doesn't look substantial enough for me to show yet. But 'youz' guys and gals would probably like an antique rug show better anyway. Below is Diamonds and Hearts geometric measuring 23 x 37 from the collection of Kathy Schoemer. A floral bias-shirred rug wool rug on cotton, Maine 1830 from Joseph and Linda Caputo collection. A cute primitive piece of a Horse pulling a Sleigh Winter Scene. For some reason naive' hooked pieces are always endearing. Wonder what color those purple trees were before fading. Yeah, another horse rug which I also love, is dated around 1870 and measures 37 x 44. You regular readers know my mind always wanders trying to figure out what was in the mind of the hooker. Obviously she used what she had on hand as for textile and color. I see two dogs, a star, heart, circle and are those clovers or primitive people? Also, at the bottom on either side of the heart ~ is that symbolic of the person(s) who were no longer able to ride the horse? Told ya I contemplate these wonderful old rugs. Fur and Feathers below is 75 years old so if that is an antique guess I am too😄. Wonder who won, the cat or the goose? Bet the goose did. The rug measures 32 x 36. The Floral Shirred rug below has no provenance but the shirring is obvious. Wish I had more information. Hope to show an update of my rug in progress soon. BUT next rug show will be those by and information about Molly Nye Toby. Some of you may already know about her accomplishments. Happy weekend. Saundra

I'm pretty busy lately getting ready to teach a new class here in Santa Fe: "Collage to Cartoon. . . and Beyond!" If that sounds familiar, it's because I have taught "Collage to Tapestry Cartoon" a number of times, but this class includes quite a bit of new information and a more in-depth approach. After creating a bunch of collages with papers we design ourselves, we'll explore techniques including open warps, irregular edges, changeable setts, and using found objects. The class is offered through the New Mexico Fiber Arts Center (formerly EVFAC) and will take place at Montezuma Lodge in Santa Fe, NM (not Española, NM as originally planned) March 20-22, 2020. More information and registration can be found HERE. And because this class is on my mind, this is on my design wall in my studio these days: It's a reminder that I want to move my tapestry work more toward being an object than a picture. (Of course this motto conveniently ignores the fact that one of the series I'm working on right now is pictures of the native grasses and wildflowers in my part of the world. There is an undeniable magic in weaving recognizable images from the natural world. So many of us are inspired by nature and want to capture its beauty in our weaving. Nothing wrong with that at all!) Sunbelly, Molly Elkind, 2019. 8" x 8" Mixed fibers mounted on painted canvas Little blue flowers, Molly Elkind, 2019. 24" x 12" Linen, wool, matted. Nevertheless. Perhaps it's the influence of the Objects: Redux exhibit I've seen a few times now here in Santa Fe, a look at contemporary fine craft alongside some of the pieces and makers from the seminal Objects: USA show of studio craft in 1969. (I wrote about Objects: Redux HERE). In this exhibit contemporary craft artists push and stretch the traditional materials and confines of their mediums in challenging and exciting ways. Perhaps "objects not pictures" is just the natural evolution of my interest in translating the methods and effects of collage into tapestry. I am increasingly interested in effects like texture and layers and open warps and irregular edges and non-woven elements such as stitch and found objects. Fold, Molly Elkind, 2020. 7" x 7" Linen, wool. Mixed Message, Molly Elkind 2019. 16" x 14" tapestry with handmade paper, mounted on linen on stretcher bars Exploring and exploiting these possibilities has been really exciting. It feels like the resulting pieces, the best of them, are things-in-themselves, objects with their own unique mystery and quiddity (what a great word!). They are not pictures of something; they are something. Sheila Hicks' astounding series of 1000 minimes has undoubtedly been a huge inspiration for me, showing the power of the weaver's mind and hands at work, asking questions and experimenting. Cross Over, Sheila Hicks, 1968. Wool. 8.25" x 5.5" from Sheila Hicks Weaving as Metaphor, ed. Nina Stritzler-Levine (New York: Bard Graduate Center), 2006 I don't really know where this all will lead. I'm thinking my next major exploration in this direction will be a woven version of this collage I did a couple years ago.* Collage, Molly Elkind, 2018. I can't wait to see if I can reproduce those irregular edges and make some sort of exciting interpretation of the printed patterns on the paper! If this sounds like fun to you too, join me in Santa Fe in a couple weeks and we'll see what we discover, using collage to stretch our understanding of tapestry. *Back story: I made the collage soon after we moved to New Mexico. As I looked at it, it felt at odds with the environment I now found myself in. In fact, my private title for it has been "Peachtree Boogie Woogie", in a nod to the Mondrian painting evoking the traffic on Broadway in New York City. My collage seemed to evoke the busy-ness and clamor of the Atlanta we had just left. So I turned my attention to interpreting our new environment.
