“Psychedelic”

For the love of crochet
Once finished with my last two pieces I went looking for another project. At first I thought to get back into my crochet felting vibe but I love crocheting. The use of stitches to achieve the look I want plus the ease of manipulation of the fabric to form shapes inspires me constantly. The last Read more
