Ruth Marshall – Renee the tiger!!
October 27th, 2010 at 03:30pm ruth marshall
Well here she is!! Renee the tiger. I just have some finishing up to do on her head and she is sans ears right now, and she needs a good press under the iron but I couldn’t wait to share a backyard photo of her with you all!
This hasn’t happened in a while but I had just enough black wool yarn to finish off the major knitting, I mean really just a few feet left, usually I am stranded squeezing for a bit more yarn, so that was very fortunate. So off to Lionbrand for another ball so I can make her ears, and also to pick up yarn for my next tiger!! He is going to be a much larger male, and also like Renee, a zoo specimen. I have begun the chart and will be working on that at MAD museum this week!
And of course I will be lugging Renee to the museum as well so that she can get some recognition of her natural beauty. I hope I have done a good job interpreting her into a textile.

Hi Ruth – Thanks for contacting us. Your work is absolutely amazing and it was a treat to see you in the studio creating Renee. Hope to see you the next time we visit MAD.

Congrats for completing the tiger project, and thanks for sharing—–here is an example of the Chinese embroidery I mentioned, it is after Monet’s painting.
