Explore expertly crafted, contemporary hooked rugs with designs ranging from abstract to political statement, and from adorable pet depictions to painterly expressions. The Green Mountain Rug Hooking Guild mounted a great exhibit for a few short weeks in November 2008 at Shelburne Museum in Vermont, and now displayed forever in the pages of this rich book. Two featured artists - Rae Harrell and Diane Kelly -display their personal styles through retrospectives of their work. Members from the guild were challenged to think "outside the box," and they came up with a variety of imagery and form ranging from lifesize, three-dimensional sheep to extraordinary miniature punch-needle works. Other categories include animals, florals, landscapes, penny rugs, and even a small section dedicated to the smallest members of the group: the children. The colours, forms, and variety will astound and inspire anyone with an interest in fiber arts. AUTHOR: Amy Oxford has chronicled exhibits by the Green Mountain Rug Hooking Guild in three previous books, and is the celebrated author of the definitive Punch Needle Rug Hooking: Techniques and Designs. She invented the Oxford Punch Needle and is a much sought-after teacher amongst fiber artists SELLING POINTS: ? Continues a favorite series chronicling exhibits by the Green Mountain Rug Hooking Guild ? Over 400 wonderful works of textile art to ogle ? Artist statements that personalize their creations ILLUSTRATIONS 400 + colour photographs *
