I saw a picture of the sunset at the bridge and tough that it would be great to make it in roving. The colors are almost surreal, but I like the effect of the almost pink sun coming down!

Love to make seashores! This red headed girl is watching the sunset . I would very much like to do the same! It is so rewarding to work with wool roving, and the colors that I have are great!

This is an oldie that came back home. I am so happy to have it again. It was designed by my daughter Anne-Marie, and it was wonderful to hook. Love the result!

This piece was really fun to make. I worked a little to get the image that I wanted, and the colors made the miracle. It is so good to have tons of wool roving to play with!

This is a piece that has been “sleeping” for a while. I decided to finish it. The wiping is the thing I am not so keen in, but I did it! The result is beautiful, I love it! It is Anne-Marie, my daughters design, she is so good! Tropical, definitely!

Rug hooking – pointillism

Hand dyed yarn and hand dyed cheese cloth

4″ x 4″

Mounted on a canvas

This was my first experience to hook with yarn, and achieved some of the Pointillism. It is a quite different experience to hook with yarn than with wool fabric. The effect is completely different! I liked it! The only place that I used another material was on the sun, I though the effect of the cheese cloth is good! Thanks you Karen Miller for teaching me this!

This piece was made after a watercolor my father, Tom Nalsen, made in 1932. It was so much fun to make it, it came out with brighter colors but I like it! It is part of my heritage!

My beloved mountain in Caracas, El Avila, Waraira Repano, the indigenous name, that gives its majestic look to our capital. You always know where the North is….where the Avila is! I really miss its looks! I have done several, and all are different, but it is the same Avila!
