Introducing the new Teepee rug. This is the first prototype in gray with pale ocean, ochre, and indigo.

This is the first Graph rug shown here in 6′ x 8′, camel with safron and indigo. The design is similar to the new painting I just completed. It also reminds me of tribal Berber rugs with simple linear patterns.

This is the new God’s Eye design in 7′ x 7′, safron over camel with pale ocean, gray, and indigo. It was inspired by the string art project we all made in Girl  Scouts when I was a kid. I don’t know if kids are still doing this or if it was a 70’s fad like macrame. For many years the sight of those things bugged me with their simplistic craftiness. This rug makes me feel better about my entire childhood.

My friend Mimi Luebberman has a lamb farm in Petaluma where she is producing these beautiful yarns using plant dyes. She is even using cochineal, the Mexican beetle famous for it’s brilliant reds. This skein is dyed with my favorite color in the world, indigo. You can find Mimi at the San Rafael farmers market on Sundays.

Much like the music genre, this Disco design is a timeless mood lifter. It is shown here as an 8′ x 10′ in blonde over gray, seaweed, and indigo.

A new shipment has come in and with it this new design dubbed, Lace.  We have two 6′ x 8’s in stock; the one shown here and a cream over gray with gray and indigo. This is the rug I made for my living room. After looking at it I knew I had to take it home. I’m loving it. It is ochre over gray with cream and gray.

I’ll post some more images of new rugs soon.
