Paul Laurence Dunbar

My friend, Donna Hrkman of Blue Ribbon Rugs just completed this commisioned piece of Paul Laurence Dunbar. I don't know about you, but it gives me goose bumps to see the remarkable artistic talent that Donna has for taking a photo and making it come to life using wool strips.

Check out Donna's site www.blueribbonrugs.com to see more of her work.
