Thread & Yarn Handing Days

Mitsuko Tonouchi 

Mitsuko rules!  She is just about the most prolific 

and explorative fiber artist I've ever seen.  

Too many pieces to include here.

Gorgeous organic assemblages of crocheted,

macramed, knitted and embroidered fibers.

Tapestries too!

Janice Rosema

If you'll be in L.A. August 5th,

don't miss out on Janice's freeform crochet workshop 

with the L.A. Fiber Guild.  

Join the adventure and create 

improvisationally with all sorts of fibers.

Whoa.

I'm having a thing for scrumbling these days.
Everything's possible with free form crochet.
Check out these fabulous creations from the International Freeform Artists Guild. All artists were invited to create a scrumble interpretation of the 4 elements.

Continuing my exploration beyond the periphery, I encounter some fantastical creatures. Everyone should create their own personal monster, or two.

These fabulous beings are the free form crochet genius of Renie Beskin Adams. Renie just brings ridiculous joy to creating with thread and yarn.

"Baby Beak-nosed Monster"

"Ruffled Fork-tongued Monster"

In celebration of tea, Renee's exquisite hand embroidery "Hand Like Wings".

I'm just crazy over Nicki Hitz Edson's free form crochet.
So much so that I decided on a theme for the week . . .

"Outside the Periphery"

What is it to go beyond the the perceived boundary of a medium? To push the edge of what a material can do and how we conceive of its development.

Nicki is recognized for her stunning contribution to wearable art. A longtime artist with Julie Artisan's Gallery, she is known for her double knit jacquard kimonos.
She is available for workshops on creative crochet.
