Making a rug.

I thought I'd plan the colors out beforehand, making a mental map of where each one would go. But once I got going, I fell in love with the freedom of just deciding in the moment: which color wanted to live next to another, what felt right for a shape, what surprised me.

This rug is teaching me something I keep needing to relearn. Beautiful things have a way of emerging when you loosen your grip. The unplanning is sometimes the whole point. Lovely things can be born when you don't try so hard.

I love how this rug is turning out and will share more about this project on Instagram soon.
