Artist's Comments

As my incredibly witty title would indicate (:roll:), this is a miniature rope rug I made for my dollhouse. :house: :love:

I made it by knitting a 5.5-foot length of what is commonly known as an "idiot cord" (a term I loathe). I used the remnant of a skein of sock yarn--"fingerweight" wool/poly blend.

I then hand-stitched the cord into an oval with thread. The back surface of the rug doesn't have the ridges in it, and my stitches are virtually invisible to the naked eye, but I think the ridged side looks more attractive and realistic.

NOTE: While the color in the larger image shown is a tad "washed out," the inset photo is fairly accurate.

If you'd like to see a more flattering image of the fainting couch pictured, you can see it here. (I redesigned it from a fairly yucky looking originally "plain" couch.)

I'm running out of words to describe how awesome these pieces of yours are. :worship: Although, your titles are somewhat reminiscent of this guy on dA that I watch...;)
