i need to gush about how incredibly seamless her compositing is in these. Compositing is incredibly hard and time consuming work on a crisp clean digital image. But compositing into what seems to be a scanned photograph that was shot on film? Insane work. The film grain + photo paper texture is matched perfectly as well as the varying softness from being slightly out of focus in different amounts in each image. Each film stock has its own specific tone too some are warmer, others are more purply, or green and they all handle contrast with light and shadow completely differently. There was so much to take into account doing this and i really dont know how she did it other than maybe finding those locations again and shooting with the same film stock on a day with similar lighting. I cannot stress enough that for professional photographers doing complex compositing is mostly relegated to having a fully locked down camera set up in studio under controlled repeatable lighting. Super impressive and a really fantastic photo series truly.

I'm loving this new trend of people going to zoos and participating in animal enrichment. We use to observe large exotic animals for our entertainment, but the fact is that we are now trying to make ourselves equally as entertaining for them. It's interactive, completely parpicipatory and I would argue that eventually someone's gonna come up with something new enough that it expland ethologists understanding about how some animals think, problem solve, communicate and feel and I think its fantastic.

I made a thing!

This is inspired by a pin Marlow made on Pinterest. They also have an Instagram called marlowcrochets. Their pouch featured a pointed cap.

Pattern under cut

Crochet Mushroom Pouch

I used worsted wight acrylic yarn and a 4mm hook for this pattern

Terminology: sc - single crochet slst- slip stitch ch- chain inc- increase dec- decrease sts- stitches blo- back loops only dc- double crochet.

Terms in brackets [ ] will be repeated the number of times specified. When something is done "around" it means every stitch will be done the same.

At the end of every round slst and ch 1 before continuing to the next round.

I would also like to note that I use an "x" stitch, which is a single crochet where you yarn under instead of yarn over. You can use whichever you like.

Stem (white)

R1: 6sc into magic circle R2: 6inc around (12sts) R3: [1sc, inc] ×6 (18sts) R4: [2sc, inc] ×6 (24sts) R5: [3sc, inc] ×6 (30sts) R6: [4sc, inc) x6 (36sts) R7: sc around in blo (36sts) R8-9: sc around (36sts) R10: [4sc, dec] ×6 (30sts) R11-12: sc around (30 sts) R13: [3sc, dec] ×6 (24sts) R14-15: sc around (24sts) R16: sc around in blo (24sts) R17: sc around (24sts) chain 70 and leave a short tail for sewing later.

Ruffles (white) Attach yarn to front loop of round 16 of stem. Ch 2 and then work 3dc into the same loop. Continue to do 3dc in each loop until you reach the end then slst to the first dc you made leaving a short tail to weave in immediately.

Outer Cap (red) R1: 6sc into magic circle R2: 6inc around (12sts) R3: [1sc, inc] ×6 (18sts) R4: [2sc, inc] ×6 (24sts) R5: [3sc, inc] ×2, 4sc, ch1, [3sc, inc] ×2, 4sc, ch1 (28sts, 2chs) R6: [4sc, inc] ×6 note that two of the increases will land in the chains (36sts) R7: sc around (36sts) R8: [5sc, inc] ×6 (42sts) R9: sc around (42sts) If you make the Inner Cap leave an 18 inch tail for sewing later.

Inner Cap (white) R1: 6sc into magic circle R2: 6inc around (12sts) R3: [1sc, inc] ×6 (18sts) R4: [2sc, inc] ×6 (24sts) R5: [3sc, inc] ×2, 4sc, ch1, [3sc, inc] ×2, 4sc, ch1 (28sts, 2chs) R6: sc around (30sts) note that two of the sts will land in the chains. R7: [4sc, inc] ×6 (36sts) Leave a long tail (40 inches) for embroidering on the spots.

Assembly

Start by sewing the Inner Cap to the Outer Cap using the red tail making sure that the chain holes line up. I used a wip stitch. Then use the white tail to embroider the spots. I used a French knot but you can just do lines or even crochet small circles if you like. Finally, use your hook to thread the Chain of 70 through the chain holes then sew it back onto the stem on the opposing side.

Voila! Now you have a mushroom pouch! Use it for dice, trinkets, or whatever you like.

This took me all day to make and I am very proud of it.
