am i, like, a REAL artist now?!?!

Since my ANZAC day tag made it into the West, I have been approached by the City of Perth to contribute a piece to the Art in Bloom in the City event in September. Crazy exciting!! I am collaborating with a lovely friend, and crafter/crocheter extraordinaire. You can find her here. The spot where we will be installing our crochet creation in the Greenwall in the Northbridge Piazza. It is a huge, and I mean MASSIVE wall - about 8m x8m we estimate.

So, now is the hard bit - coming up with a concept and design!! Apart from having a floral theme, we have free reign. So many ideas!

I have also been trying something new (well, new to me, having been inspired by many other's creations) - the crochet covered stone. Not really happy with this one, but hey, it's only the first try!

The gumnut hat was a bit of a winner, and I now have a small family of them! It think some Wild Tea Cosies are next!
