Tamara Pavich?s Designed by You: Ideas and Inspiration for Rug Hookers is a guide for navigating visual creativity. Presenting thirty-six design ideas, ranging from simple to complex, Pavich shows artists where they can find inspiration for their next great work, whether they?ve hit a mental block or haven?t found the right style to express themselves. Designed by You features nearly fifty rug hookers and well over a hundred original designs, the product of many imaginations. Artists will learn how they can approach a new work by finding a stand-out color to incorporate, working in new materials, letting a personal story take center stage, looking at the work of other artists, and more. There's an approach here to fit every artist's needs.
