TREE TOPS

ONE EARTH

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.

RASPBERRY CRUSH

I have made this for a friend and will be posting it today. We both have a love of pink and purple and I am hoping this will be a pleasant surprise for her. Fingers crossed !!

DESIGNS OF WILD BERRIES

These are the three designs of WILD BERRIES

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.

THE TIES THAT BIND

For Mothering Sunday. All hand knitted with added garden twine.

Size : 20" x 16" or50 x 40 cms mounted on ready to hang canvas

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.

THE SKY ABOVE OUR EARTH BELOW

Coiling is quite new to me. Here is my interpretation of our Earth.

Please let us all take care of it.

ONE EARTH, ONE CHANCE.

Mounted on 12" diameter canvas

FANDANGO

This piece of wall art started out as a trial square and gradually developed and changed the more work I did to it.

The name came to me because two of the corners look like fans although they are supposed to be ballet dress skirts !!!!!!!

It is mounted on ready to hang canvas and is approx 12" x 12" excluding 'fans'

EMERALD ISLE

I have no Irish connections I just felt this design worked. All hand knitted with beading. As with most of my designs, the knitted pieces are stitched to fabric and then attached to, ready to hang, canvas.

BEACHCOMBER

I finished BEACHCOMBER this weekend. I have had some very nice comments from people and although it took a lot of time to complete, I am pleased with it. I hope anyone who looks likes it too.
