Mushroom Punch Rug

c 2022

This rug was inspired by painting with natural pigments collected in the Pacific Northwest. The original design was created for a scarf collection celebrating the seasons of Oregon, with mushrooms prominent in the autumn.

To adapt it to a rug yarns were hand dyed with natural plant dyes and the original design format modified to better suit the end use and celebrate the method of make, hand punched, taking six months in total to create.
