Tiger Rug 2.0
I decided to create a new tiger rug design! I think the tiger’s less direct gaze is a little more charismatic. I also tried swapping out mid tone, cool colours for the stripes to help the rug feel more vivid and colourful overall.

I love making these little guys when I have extra space on the rug frame. It’s so fun to see how each iteration turns out differently even with the same base pattern. That said, I’m probably going to retire this pattern at the end of the year. Gotta make room for new kitties!
This handsome boxer boy is Rocky. He may seem familiar if you’ve been watching my art for a while; I’ve painted and drawn him a couple of times at least. This latest version is a housewarming gift for Rocky’s person. ❤️
This happy boy was a commission for a local private client. I had so much fun designing this husky rug off one of the commissioner’s several husky dogs! I’m really hoping to take more rug commissions in the future. ❤️
These blue tabbies are the last items I’m premiering at RB Studio and Gallery when they open on June 30th! These two are another great example of how the same pattern and colours can produce two unique rugs.
Here’s a new design that’s debuting at RB Studio & Gallery.
I wanted to create a different frog design that was a little simpler and more friendly than my original froggy. I’m very pleased with how this one turned out! You can see by the two different frogs how much the finished rug can vary even using the same design, so they’re all just a little bit special.
Here’s another rug I made for RB Studio and Gallery‘s opening: A pink rainbow rug of my cat, Scuzzy! This was actually the first rainbow rug design I created when I was first learning tufting, and this is my first time making one for sale. I’ve tweaked a few bits to make the design more aesthetically pleasing, though it looks a little less like my precious Scuzzy cat.
Now that I’ve officially announced I’ll be selling with RB Studio & Gallery, I can finally show you all what I’ve been making for them this past month!
First off is this tiger rug. This was my second time making this design, and it’s surprisingly fun and quick to do. Usually little details slow me down, but this one just flew by.
I thought it would be fun to palette swap my rainbow orange fox for a rainbow silver fox, and this little blue friend was born. It was very difficult matching the purple for this one, but I think it turned out pretty well in the end.
Here’s one of my latest rugs. I wanted to try my orange tabby colour scheme with higher contrast, and a tiger seemed like the perfect subject! I also experimented with shaping the outlines to make them cleaner, and that’s definitely something I’d like to keep practicing.
