Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of painting Narrative Americana Primitive paintings that have found their way into private collections world-wide and inclusion in the permanent collection of the Tokyo, Japan National Art Museum, I turned my hand to rug hooking. It did not take me long to realize that if I was going to work with my favorite antiqued, primitive colors that I'd have to create them myself. Thus began one of the most rewarding and fascinating endeavors of my art career. Learning to create primitive colors not only with commercial dyes but from the garden and woods as well as my pantry shelf was not only eye-opening and a learning experience but also great fun. Now, I want to share the things I learned, the tricks I developed and full-color photos of some of my rugs. Here's to everyone else out there who is hooked on hooking!

Download or read book Silk Stocking Mats written by Paula Laverty and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2005 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in 1928, the Grenfell Mission sent out a call to socialites: "When your stockings run, let them run to Labrador!" The creative recycling of tattered stockings, dyed in soft hues, is just one of many innovations that made Grenfell hooked mats highly collectible folk art. In Silk Stocking Mats, Paula Laverty chronicles the development of a local craft into an art form. For generations Newfoundland women had augmented their family's unreliable fishing income with a "matting season" in February and March. Through the Grenfell Mission's Industrial Department, set up in 1909 to help develop cottage industries, the mat industry became an increasingly important source of income reaching peak production in the late 1920s and early 1930s when the women's mats became renowned for their strong design, meticulous craftsmanship, and distinctive northern images chronicling life in the north. Reindeer, sled dog teams, polar bears, schooners, outports, and florals are but a few of the mat designs.Silk Stocking Mats is the result of over seventeen years of exhaustive research and draws on personal interviews with older women who recall their hooking days, the study of hundreds of archival documents, and careful examination of countless Grenfell hooked mats. Laverty's book is beautifully illustrated with photographs and descriptions including rare and unusual as well as common mat designs.
