...how incredible are these portraits!? i'm utterly fascinated by her attention to colour and detail, and how she has captured such a wonderful sense of depth and character. i would really love to see one of these pieces up close to read the stitches and study the construction. i think it's probably lost a wee bit in these pics, but they must have an wonderful texture too...
...even though the portraits are quite special i think my favourite piece has to be this city scape of Portland, i'm completely mesmerised by the mix of colours and the geometry of the whole thing...
...if you check out her website you can see more of her crochet pieces alongside some of her drawings and paintings. info is a wee bit thin on the ground, but as far as i can tell she studied at Glasgow School of Art and now exhibits in the US. if anyone knows any more about her or her work i would love to hear it ~ thank you :)
...and i think if i ever get my portrait done it's going to have to be in crochet and maybe made into a granny cushion, or possibly a pot holder ~ what do you think!?
