An illustration of a background using 12 to 14 different colours of wool!
I love working with many colours of wool. I believe the backgrounds have a richness and interest not seen in a flat, one-colour-background. Of course, the background should be appropriate to the rug design and the cut of wool. After all, it is a -background-and not the dominate feature of the rug! LOL
You might want to try a primitive background using this technique and see how you like it.
Also, do you see that I let the red on the large flower blend into the background instead of outlining it in a more contrasting colour? As I've said, I like the look of old painted furniture that has darkened and faded over time and this more undefined technique gives that look.

Nice rug background but the spelling is color not colour.
You are in the USA.
