Toothbrush rugs: A video expose on my magnum opus

For more about this craft, go to toothbrushrugs-dot-blogspot-dot-com

A higher res version of this is available at Google video and Veoh, and is posted at that blog.

This is the largest rug I've made in a decade, and the most beautiful. The key clothing in this rug were clothes my wife and I wore 12 to 13 years ago, when we were wooing and wed.

There are three phases to it, the solid colors in the center, the variegated rows outside it, and the solid rows at the finish. Through out, you'll notice certain colors and sequences either repeating or contrasted, so the whole rug is aesthetically linked together by- if you will- visual fugue.

I hope to get some good stills of it, but since I've long promised to show off the finished rug, I decided to go ahead and post this now.

Once my wife is out of the hospital, we'll do a video detailing which garments are where, to show how wonderful this craft is at preserving memories and commemorating life events.
