The Coral Reef Project was fun to be involved in.  I contributed  a few pieces that  fitted into the large colourful installation at the Power House Museum in Sydney.

  

I like to print onto fabric, crochet and knit with cotton and wool or any fibres. I sometimes crochet pieces that are later pieced together for an outfit. Collaborating with a designer I like to create an outfit with the fabric pieces.

‘Fungiforms’  More crocheted forms from nature. Wonderful fungi that appeared in my front yard for a moment inspired this work.

      

 

 

 

 

Printing and dyeing cotton and silk fabrics often tell the story of a trip or just a fun thing to do.
