my latest project

my balls

i love to crochet, i only know one stitch but i can do so many things with that one stitch. i learned to crochet from my mother, she used to make me this hats with spangles on them, to tell you the truth, i really was not to fond of wearing them.....they were really geeky and so unkool.

i love to take what ever is around me and make something new out of it.....kind of like a found artists, i like using things that are not so common in my art.....i like to reuse things, and it has nothing to do with being green......i just love to collect found objects and taking something and making something else.  these balls of yarn are made from old clothing , that i ripped, torn, tied together and wanting to be made into mostly scaves, but i think i am going to try to make some belts.

i would love some feedback on what you all think of these......i have fun making them.....and i love the feel of the fabrics in my hand. this one was made from a silk skirt that no longer fit.

the following one is made from a real piece of fabric......that i ripped and it was such a big piece i can make more .....out of the 3 that i made the other night i have to say that this one is my fave.....what i like about working with the different types of fabrics is they all have a mind of their own......i am enjoying making these and i would love to put them on etsy.....which i am going to take the leap.....sometimes my leaps are small and tiny and sometimes i take bigger jumps.

this one was made from 2 blouses....i love when they fray and as i crocheing them they kind of take on a life of there own.. if you haven't noticed by now, i had neat art....i really like it to be rough and raw and somewhat natural.....i like whatever materials i am working with to take on a life of there own.....

sometimes the sad thing is that after making and creating art all my life i am finally ready to go public with it and share it and sell it.....god why did i want so long, but i am not going to dwell in how long, i am just going to keep going forward and still make art and show and sell it.....

please i am very interested in feedback, can you tell me what you think of these, and be honest.....i am a big girl, i have big panties and a teflon suit......
keep creating.
