This is a wonderful old technique called "antigodlin". June Mikoryak explained it to me at Sauder Village last year. She explained it by saying the loops look like a handful of rice dropped in the bottom of a bowl.
April DeConick has had rugs featured in the Celebration juried series and Rug Hooking Magazine. She has authored articles for the ATHA Newsletter and Rug Hooking Magazine. Her rugs have been exhibited at Sauder Village and local events.
My blog is devoted to creative rug hooking, a traditional textile art, using wool strips cut into various widths from recycled and new fabric to create rugs on a linen burlap foundation.
My Creativity Resolution
I will suspend the rules in order to explore I will explore in order to play I will play in order to create pieces that express myself to venture beyond what I have been taught to open doors I did not know were there to immerse myself in color and form to cross over, to prod, to swerve, to jump where white is not white where black is not black where even gray is purple

This is how I usually hook a background. But I didn't have a name for it!

Thanks for displaying the back April! You have a great blog....Marita
This is really beautiful. I've used this approach, particularly when doing the manes and tails on ponies and love the end result.
