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.

Size: 35 x 15 ins

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.

FORGET-ME-NOT FASCINATION

Forget me not, Myosotis, with it's delicate hues of blues and pinks, is one of the prettiest garden flowers.

Here, I have hand knitted the background and used french knots for the flowers with seed beads for decoration.

Size : 16 x 16 x 1 ins or 41 x 41 x 3 cms

TREE TOPS

TREE TOPS has been created entirely by using hand knitted pieces of varying shades of green. There is some beading, used to generate light. I have, hopefully, created depth and texture in this design of a stand of trees. A very heavy piece due to the amount of yarn used

Size: 12 x 32 x 4 ins

Mounted on ready to hang canvas

FALLEN

Woollen fibres coiled to represent fallen twigs. Added wooden beads decorate and add more texture and colour.

ONE EARTH

32 x 21 x 2 ins

ONE EARTH

As twilight turns to night and sweeps her cloak around our Earth promising another day for us all, we should remember that life on Earth could so easily be taken away.
From skies to deserts, from forests to plains we must all bear the burden of responsibility. Keep the Oceans free from pollution to sustain the life within them and it is us, mankind, that is causing the polar ice caps to melt with future generations facing the devastating consequences.
Throughout the solar system it is our planet, Earth, that is by far the most beautiful and it is up to each and everyone of us to keep it that way.
One Earth One Chance.

Representing : the sky, deserts, fields, rain forests, rocks, soil, oceans and rivers, ice, savannah and plants and the sunlight and rain that sustains us all.
Let us all be kind to the Earth that lets us live.

DESERT DREAMS

Dessert Dreams consists of individual, hand knitted pieces with beading and free hanging pieces of wool fibre.

A small wooden pole at the top allows for wall hanging.

I have backed it with hessian to stop any stretching as it is fairly heavy.

Size to longest point :: 28 x 47 INS

TO THE WATER'S EDGE

My sister and brother-in-law have moved to Cornwall and wanted something for their new home. Representational of the beach and sea I designed this forthem.

Size: 3 x 12 x 12 x 1"

WILD BERRIES

These three designs are meant to be displayed together. The same wool has been used in all three but in each one I useda different knitted stitch. Individually they are 12 x 12 x 1". The title is meant to encapsulate the colours of the wool. They were all time consuming but the third one took the longest amount of time.

1. Blackberry Stitch

2.Moss Stitch

3.Garter Stitch individually coiled.

THROUGH TIME....

My interpretation of the photo as a piece of wall art.

Original photo

Hand knitted pieces as well as beading, embroidery and netting make up this design inspired from a photograph.
