Emily Carr tribute - Kits Packaged by Rittermere

Having hooked since the early 1980s with my Mom, I can say I have done many many rugs but have many more to do... I like to try new things, design my own for the most part but like to do 'out of hte box' too. 

A few years back I wanted to try something different without having to design but to challenge me on re-producing Art and colours.  Well... did I pick a tough one!  Jeanne Fields had some licensed kits for Emily Carr which I was drawn to. 

I chose the first one and it ended up being my last one to finish I was so put off by the sunlight beams... Joan Cumins had done a version at Chantry which spurred me on.  In the meantime as you can see, I bought 2 more and extended the height to be the same as the totem pole so I could hang in my living room.  As a result when I was done, I had to re-paint and just about re-decorate our living room to suit the 3 Emily Carrs.  :-)  Why not?

This was a photo to show before we had them framed - Mom (Sybil) has a phenomenal (sp?) lady in Port Elgin (Debbie) who does an excellent job on artwork. 

As you can see by the next photo taken of the 3 Emily's framed (Thanks Mom) hanging in our newly re-decorated living room!  :-)   Size is 19" x 24" on two ends pieces and 14.5" x 24 on middle piece

Each hooked Emily Carr follows, these are truly 3 of my favorites!   See what you think...

"Painters and Painting"

"Sombreness Sunlit"

"Kitwanger Pole"

Check out the many more kits that Jeanne and Andrea have at the store.
