This was my rug sample for Resurrection, it was made using a tufting gun. A tufting gun is an compressed air device that sucks the thread into a needle and shoots it into the canvas. It took a few test runs before I did my final sample, and it really hurts your hand after a few hours, plus you notice your arm aching the next day. It was fun though :)
This sample took 1hr 45 mins, as I'd never done it before plus my gun kept un-threading itself. Afterwards my lectuer told me I had chose a complex design for my first attempt, oh well if you dont push yourself you aint gonna learn.
