A couple of shots of my installation at Greenman festival August 2015. Had so much fun with this one and my biggest yarn bomb to date! I've got a tonne of photos so expect many more!!
I'm organising a rather exciting exhibition which is opening next month. We're celebrating all things #screenprint and embracing our geeky inked up process! Showcasing work from members of the print workshop @theprinthaus it's gonna be a colourful event!! #cardiff #theabacusgallery #theprinthaus #screenprinter #printmaking #illustration
So it's pretty cool finding yourself on a street art website! Does this mean I'm cool? Oh dear! The guys in work still call me grandma for crocheting on my lunch breaks so that balances it out right?....
A few years ago I made a giant toadstool footstool as a birthday present for my boyfriend. He is a massive fan of the fungi and spends most of his free time in the woods by our house photographing all the different varieties he can find. So I thought what better than to come home and put your feet up on this! It's made in the round using chunky wool and took about 3 evenings to do spaced over a month as I was trying to keep it a secret and could only do it when he was out! Definitely one of my favourite pieces.
These are from a few years ago. I know pinterest is full of different versions that lots of talented crocheters have made but they're so charming and easy to do I couldn't help myself.
This was Mr eyeball snapped on display at #theabacusgallery #cardiff as part of the #emptywalls exhibition.
I thought I'd carry on the zombie fingers for Christmas theme and I made a couple of little ones for tree decorations. My friends Ian and Heather have been the first to adorn their tree with the digit and kindly sent me a pic of the cheeky fella hanging away. Don't ask what I was up to with the nose picture I was home alone with no one to judge me on how weird I was being..... Feel free to judge me now as I share it with the Internet instead.
So I've been plotting this finger for a while. I use to sell mini Zombie Fingers a few years ago along side the eyeballs. Seeing as I'd made a giant eyeball a few months ago I thought why not make it's friend the Giant Severed Finger. He measures roughly about a meter in length and I'd say the diameter is about 20/25cm too. I managed to craft the cheeky beast in about a total of maybe 6 hours. Which is pretty fast seeing as he's completely double knit wool and I used a 3.5mm hook. I did use my new fancy hook with a squishy handle that's my early Christmas present to myself!! I totally freestyled and made the pattern up as I went along, which was pretty simple as they're all just basic shapes although I did add some fancy scalloped edging to the bloody bit so it wasn't so straight. The nail and knuckle detail are felt which I glued on top after I'd stuffed it. He's now residing at my friend Colin's house as he was the most likely to appreciate such an odd gift. A fellow lover of the weird and wonderful!
Apples! I prefer mine with a bit more of a crunch to be honest but these seemingly go down quite well too. The first one is just a little plush I made, I've been planning on adding a little worm crawling out of it too. The bottom two pictures are a couple of many many apples I made for a yarnbombing last year. I filled a tree with them in Cardiff. They all got taken pretty quickly though. Hopefully people have hung them in their own gardens instead, fingers crossed!!

This guy's still going strong in a tree on The Hayes in Cardiff. We got told to remove it all but I couldn't help leaving him up. I should have put him the other way up so he didn't get droopy jaw but live and learn!!
Happy Halloween you creepy weirdos xx
Halloween is hands down my favourite time of year. I can’t ever get enough of making costumes. I usually spend weeks day dreaming something up to make and love stretching my sewing and crafting skills to the limit to create the gruesome article. I think I get way more enjoyment from crafting the costume than having to go to any party dressed up in it.
The cheeky zombie eyeball I crochet was for my friend Tom’s birthday last year. He has it hanging in his van and it always makes me grin when I hitch a lift.
I think Halloween will always have a huge influence on all the things I create from colours to monsters, it’s always gonna be a winner.
Hope you all have a spooky weekend!
At the beginning of the Empty Walls Festival the Abacus Gallery opened up their doors for an amazing exhibition to run along side the festival. I'll share more about the exhibition at a later date, for now this is a piece I put up outside to jazz it up for the opening night. Unfortunately it was very short lived. I think it may have lasted just over a week before violently being unravelled by some meanies who then went on to punch a man who tried to stop them! Who knew wool would be so controversial eh??! A shame and it did bum me out knowing it had gone so quickly. I think it was one of my favourite pieces, but that's the nature of street art I guess. More pencils will definitely be on their way.
As part of the Empty Walls Festival in Cardiff I was invited to bring my Yarn Bombing to the center of Cardiff. It didn't go down too well in the Hayes unfortunately due to the grumps that run the St Davids 2 Center but we relocated to Quay Street over by the Millennium Stadium and had fun bringing some colour to that end of town.
