I used a framework of withies, hessian strips and reclaimed copper wires. The elements will be alligned with these as the work develops.

This wall hanging is designed to fit a specific space above a stairwell.
Over the next few days I will post some of the detail of the work.
Firstly – here is one of the freeform spirals before being incorporated. This is worked in two soft yarns of differing weights to give a variation in texture as well as colour.

I am currently working on a wall hanging. I am working freeform crochet onto a framework of withies and with a hessian backdrop. I will be posting more details as it progresses.
