Mushrooms, moss and reclaiming work.

















What about these lovelies! As you can see I've been working hard and finished knitting my mushrooms (left) for Rural Collusions, the exhibition I am having with Ruth Richmond at Thornham Walks, near Eye and SWT Lackford Lakes, near Bury St Edmunds from Easter time onwards. My bracket fungi (right) are also multiplying- still several more to make of these before easter though.
The moss carpet is coming along too,  I've roped in Nicola from Halfpenny Home (www.halfpennyhome.blogspot.co.uk) to knit some pieces too, when we've finished knitting all the sections I'll join it all together and will then do a little rag rugging into it too. I have enjoyed crocheting all the knitted mushrooms together because I asked the ladies who go to wednesday morning knitting at Halfpenny Home if they would like to all knit one to add to the piece which many of them (and other friends of Halfpenny Home) have done, so it was great to see all their creations and join them with mine- each one made by someone other than myself has a small piece of paper with their name on inside!



Here are some other pieces of work I've made using crochet; the piece above is called 'You put my tears in bottles' and below is 'Natures Dance' and two close ups of crocheted elements of it.
