Digital art tools and Rug Hooking

Digital art tools and Rug Hooking

Here I am in my own little corner, in my own little world....{remember that Cinderella song?} I always go through a rough patch when I start a new rug, that has to do with picking colors that sing to me. Here I am looking at the screen on the digital camera in the Black and White setting - looking for value contrast. It is amazing how different things look without color! You can easily lose all sense of contour and line, especially on the inside of a motif in the Black and White setting. When I am stuck on which way to go in choosing wools for say a flower -- sometimes a digital tool is a good thing to get unstuck with.

What a great idea! Will definitely try this next time I am wondering if I am "losing" my motif.
