RIVER OF THE SUN


The Amazon basin was the inspiration for my latest design. This, the second longest river on Earth, has no bridges throughout its entire length. It always appears primative and magnificent and yet, a place out of time.
All hand knitted, mounted on canvas and ready to hang.

OUT OF THE BLUE



Near jewelled crystal waters, riverbanks and ponds, they restlessly patrol. Hunting on the wing in dashing raids they can be seen flitting accross these waters on balmy afternoons in beautiful colours and graceful flight.


With elegant long legs and body and four gossamer wings, the Damselfly appears.....................Out of the Blue



Hand knitted with added beads and tiny damselflies.

MOONLIGHT AND ROSES


Moonlight and Roses
Bring wonderful memories of you,
My heart reposes
In beautiful thoughts so true.
June light discloses
Love's golden dreams sparkling anew,
Moonlight and Roses
Bring memories of you.

BLUE LAGOON


Blue Lagoon is constructed from hand knitted pieces and embellished with blue glass beads.


A lagoon is a body of water that has, over time, been cut off from the open sea by sand bars or coral reefs........the varying depths of the water are represented here by the shading of the fibres used.


Mounted on ready to hang canvas.
