This piece of work that is based on the purple feathery rushes (common reed) is to be shown at Lackford Lakes, Suffolk, the reeds are found growing widely there. Not only am I basing the work on the form of these reeds, but we have used the reed heads to actually dye some of the textiles I am using. It produces the green colour of the pieces dangling from my rushes. I am hoping to make a beautiful colony of these on one of the sand banks that will waft around in the wind.
Puffballs
These pieces crocheted in cotton tape and based on puffballs have also been dyed with purple feathery rush heads. These are also to be installed at Lackford and will eventually creep along a branch and form a cluster hanging down from there.
Lots to do before next Easter!!!!
