Happiness for your Hair…..

I made a few of these cute little hair combs as custom orders & thought I’d share the happiness  – the flowers were crochet then felted & hand dyed – a bit of fun….

Acacia inspired…..

Anyone who has seen Australia’s beautiful Acacia in its full-bloom glory will appreciate the lovely warm tones that inspired this little handbag – although I rarely keep track, I think I may have  incorporated over 40 different yarns when creating this piece….

Freeform Challenge 2010

It is such an honour to be included in this wonderful collaboration of Freeform Artists from around the world. None of us saw each other’s pieces until now, so it’s a delicious surprise  to see how we each interpreted the theme ‘Somewhere in My World’. A huge thank you must go the Myra Wood for her inspiration & curating this fabulous eye candy.

The 2010 International Freeform Guild’s show, Somewhere in My World includes 61 freeform fiber artists from all around the globe.

Please… take a look, but be warned… the inspirational content may be contagious & you’ll never be the same again……

At last… I’ve found joy in knitting…

Everyone who knows me, knows I’m not really a knitter but when I found Myra Wood’s book ‘Crazy Lace’ last year & discovered this new approach to knitting, I knew this was right up my alley – I just love the freedom of doing what I like…

here are 2 pieces I’m particularly pleased with

just discovered – The Clone Stitch….

Ok… so it’s been around for donkey’s ages (re: Irish Crochet) but I’ve only just discovered this amazing little stitch & have been incorporating it into my freeform work – although traditionally worked in cotton thread, I’ve been experimenting with different yarns & hook sizes & the results are fabulous – you’ll find the instructions on Novel stitches if you’d like to give it a go … experiment & have fun….
