Ace of Diamonds
“A Diamond Girl” is in keeping
with a series on women's
issues I am in the process of
creating. In this series there is
always a woman with words or
symbols. The word in this
piece is “A” and the woman is
shaped like a diamond,
hence the title “A Diamond
Girl.” The diamonds in the
corners are hooked using the
Waldoboro technique and the
piece is embellished with
hand felting, diamonds and
yarn. In designing this piece,
I used a split complementary
color palette of purple, red
and yellow.
Linda Rae Coughlin is the
originator and curator of the
Art Rugs: The Art of Playing
Cards. Her careful and
thought-out planning has
gone into the entire project.
Through her efforts she
continues to work to elevate
and promote the “art” of rug
hooking. As the curator of Art
Rugs: The Art of Playing Cards
she has helped to ensure an
important place for Art Rugs
within the art world.

2 of Diamonds
2 of Diamonds: “Snake eyes”
was my immediate reaction to
the two of diamonds – thus, the
stylized tails wrapping around
the diamonds in the design.
Since I wanted lots of glitz and
glitter, I collected and/or dyed
many unusual fabrics, yarns and
beads. I began hooking over
20 years ago and strive for a
unique look in my work.

King of Clubs
King of Clubs: Animals have
always been a continuous
thread woven into the fabric of
my life, so it only seems natural
that they are often the subject
of my art work. The magnificent
lion, long known as the “King of
Beasts,” is the perfect choice to
represent the King of Clubs.
