Here's a hand hooked stool I recently finished. The wools are hand dyed and mill dyed. The design is adapted from a Medieval English pavement tile. I originally was going to use the red for the background , but I'm glad I decided on the gold instead. And, in fact, the original tiles were produced in gold or black. Tuesday, September 20, 2005

I really liked your stool.Where did you find the tile design.You sound like a history buff.Are you like me and like learning the meaning of symbols,etc,and how things came to be? Lovely work,Dwb in C.B.
I'm glad you liked the stool, Dwb. I was browsing through a book at the library on medieval tiles and liked that design, along with a few others. I don't really consider myself a history buff. Sometimes I'm interested in the symbolic meaning of motifs, and other times I'm just like or am interested in the the design or pattern itself.
