Balance. Hooked Rug by Ann Willey"The Secret Garden was what many called it ...... she liked the name and she liked still more the feeling that when its beautiful old walls shut her in, no one knew where she was. It seemed almost like being shut out of the world in some fairy place." - Frances Hodgson Burnett
In the Garden. Hooked rug by Ann WilleyI'm enchanted by Ann Willey's work. Her hooked rugs remind me of the beautifully illustrated story books I was fascinated with as a child. See more of Ann's work on her website, here and on Flickr, here.
In the night garden. Hooked rug by Ann Willey"Dreams, fairytales, myth, and everyday life overlap and intermingle in my mixed media paintings and rug hookings.
