the missing pieces stone making process

I have been wanting to take you on a patchwork stone making journey because for me the process is far more important than the final result. Each step was photographed except the crocheting of the little bits since they were already made earlier and resting in my sewing basket. This stone contains the usual circles of liberty tana lawn fabric but is unique in the fact that it also has some modern screen printed fabric from repeat studio ( arounna and roisin) and also from ink & spindle ( lara cameron). I hope you enjoy this journey.

 

     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have more detailed pictures of the completed stone and some taken in a special location that I will share with you tomorrow. I don't usually name my stones but I have decided to call this one "repeat in red" . To say I am attached to this one would be putting it mildly.

Fascinating to see your process and such beautiful results.

another masterpiece, my friend !
I totally agree about the process being more important & enjoyable as the final product.
Um, a question, why does your blog appear different to me today ?

Each step is fascinating and beautiful. I've been peering and gasping at each and every image. I love how you have made collections of covetable treasures out of tiny scraps of fabric and crochet. Stunning work.

I love the colours again, easy to see why you're so taken with it. It must be lovely to hold in your hand and view a different scene at every angle. Gorgeous!
P.S. Your blog is different today in my browser too.

It is by far, super lovely! thank you for letting us see parts of the process. Inspiring for sure!

So lovely!

Loved seeing 'repeat in red' creation process. I agree with you about process being more than the end, a concept often difficult for others to comprehend. Thank you for letting us into your journey.

Wow! Seeing the pieces in progress really shows how fine your work is and how detailed your selections are. It's a really beautiful piece. On our recent vacation I collected a few stones to cover to give as presents, but I'm sure I will become attached too; giving them away will be tough. :)

This is really so beautiful!Thank you for showing the process! I made my wedding dress in a similiar 10 way years ago- well, the decorative edging and crocheted it together then with an Irish lace-like stitch... it is such a lovely creative way to work! Blessings XX

Gorgeous!! I love your work [and your blog]. :)

[SmitoniusAndSonata]

I couldn't part with it either ! There's something very personal about it .
I'm inspired and must make something for me .
Can't crochet and , in the middle of town , unlikely to find similar pebble , but Hey !
Old brick , patchwork , ribbons and buttons abound .
Oh dear , another Must Do ....

[malia]

Oh my, this is so very beautiful. I keep seeing your crocheted stones pop up on other's blogs. It's like you've spread your beauty far-and-wide. But this patchwork treasure you have here is like none other. Simply amazing.

[arounna khounnoraj]

I have recently found this blog and have been lost for days amongst your archives. I love your point of view and it's changed the way I look at the world around me. I find myself looking around more on my walks. My daughter brought a tiny tip of a dried out fern and I had to agree, it's beautiful. And of course I've already found an armful of river stones to work on.

I particularly love the shots you take of your work where you get one, then get another closer in and sometimes (if we are lucky) you get another one even closer. It's like you know that we get one look and want to lean in to check out the details. So many lovely details!

I can just imagine how it feels to get the stretch of the materials just right to cover the stone, after all the work constructing the cover. That is one of my favorite parts when making a crochet-covered stone. The aha it fits moment! This is absolutely stunning.

[littlechrissy]

This is so beautiful. You're very clever.

[Kim]

Thoroughly enjoyable post. Always a treat to see things in process. Thanks for the insight into your way of making beautiful art objects!

[Summer]

Wow! I saw your work and was on in beach in Denmark... obviously with tools, pens and paper in tow when I found some fishing rope. Damn, trying to crochet with that stuff is a nightmare. I then wondered how on earth you got your stones so well knotted and for the life of me try, try and try I couldn't do it. Wont stop me trying but I have to say I do love your work. keep it up, it is gorgous!
