Felted rug

This rug of circular crocheted circles grabbed me.
I loved the color palette and the look of the photo on the cover of the "Vogue" knitting book.
Cannot wait to see it finished, but I think it will be fairly quick.
Will I sell it?
I may. It may go on my "Poppy Frockstar" Etsy site
It could be the inspiration for some placemats and coasters.
Each circle/square goes pretty fast, and the felting makes it pretty thick.
Sort of like an olive/tapas color scheme...
I know it seems like I'm abandoning clothing, but that's not true, and I'm doing a lot of "Re-fashioning" of my own clothes.
It make me feel good to alter or just chop up those things that I loved at one time, but never wore because they were too...Big/Small/long/short/weird fitting...
I got this Indian print bedspread type of caftan a couple of years ago because I loved the fabric/color, but the caftan was big and long and shapless.
I loved the border and ended up with a nice short tunic and cowl that has the border featured up at the hip where you can see it...
very '70's fun summer top.

Just when Spring seemed to be in full warm unfolding, we've had some nice wet rain in the Bay Area, and plaenty of indoor time to work.
Still... love the spring flowers, and the trees with their best little blossoms.
I took a picture of this poppy in my yard as it lost its petals, and it still looked like the most glamorous creature.
Such a pretty looking color for a spring cape or maybe nano felt scarf.
I like her ruffle standup collar too :)
