This work includes a book and a DVD. It helps readers to uncover the history and background of traditional proddy. This book: offers techniques for different prodding methods; describes other forms of three-dimensional rug hooking; offers step-by-step instructions and templates to create realistic-shaped proddy flower petals; and, includes a special table-runner project, full-size pattern insert, and instructional DVD.

Gene Shepherd gives a comprehensive look at the origin of prodded rugs and gives step-by-step instructions to achieve the look of realistic flowers and leaves. Beginning with the background of traditional prodded hooking and methods to do it, he covers realistic-shaped proddy flowers, moulded hooking, decorative knots, and backgrounds that appear three-dimensional. It helps to learn how to use pancake-dyed wools and alternate loop (beaded) techniques.
