"Antique Hand Made Corner Shelf with Penny Rugs"

I have taken a really sweet primitive corner shelf that I found at an auction in Parsonsburg, MD. It may have been a school shop project--it is certainly imperfect with the slightly crooked shelves but that's what gives it its charm.  It hangs from a single nail through a hole in the top of the shelf back.
I have custom made two mini penny rugs to fit perfectly in each shelf back.  The penny rugs are attached with doubleface stick on dots and could be easily removed if desired.

Each mini penny rug is hand made using hand dyed by me wool.

The background is a prim lavender with top and bottom lamb's tongue borders in brown with prim yellow pennies.  The center designs are penny stacks in doubles and triples in textures and coordinating colors.
Each little mat is backed with the same hand dyed prim yellow wool as forms the border pennies.
No glue is used--only lots of tiny blanket stitches.

These little penny rug mats use as-is and recycled wools
that have been hand dyed by me.
