Rug hooked by  Gun-Marie Nalsen

Rug hooking

Hand dyed wool, sari silk,  cotton threads

22″ x 26″

I made this rug for my grandaughter Zoe, who graduated from High School, and went to Columbus  Art and Design College to complete her artistic education.

The basic design of this rug, the girl on the bird is my daughter’s Anne-Marie, her mother.  I created the tree with its foliage and  roots, envolving the girl, Zoe, meaning  that we the  family are always there for her.  The secret message , “Zoe vuela alto”  is on the back of the piece, so you don’t see it on the front.

Teji esta pieza para mi nieta Zoe, que se graduo de High School y se fue al Columbus Art and Design College, para completar su educacion en diseno grafico.

El diseno basico de esta pieza, la nina sobre el pajaro es de mi hija Anne-Marie, su mama.  Yo cree el arbol con sus hojas  y raices  , envolviendo a Zoe, queriendo decir que la familia esta aqui siempre para ella. El mensaje secreto, “Zoe vuela alto”, solo se ve en el lado del reves de la pieza, no se ve en el frente.
