All rugs shown in the gallery were designed and are copyrighted by Laura Salamy. Unless otherwise indicated they are available for sale. SOLD rugs can often be re- or similarly created. If interested in a particular rug or if you have questions, please contact Laura at Laura@highonhooking.com.
A full inventory of rugs currently for sale can be seen in our Etsy shop. Contact me if you have questions concerning those rugs.
Current work includes small, medium, and larger rugs; table mats and runners; bench covers; pillows; and wall hangings. Suitability for use on the floor depends on the materials used to hook the rug.
About custom work: I produce my own designs but can often work from a customer’s drawing or inspiration. A child’s or grandchild’s picture is easily converted to a permanent keepsake. The rugs below were based on artwork by some little friends of mine.
