Our freeform crochet piece is inspired by May
Gibbs’ iconic childrens’ stories which feature characters based on the unique
Australian flora.
Each story is built around the adventures of the
characters Snugglepot and Cuddlepie and their many friends. Generations of
Australian children have grown up listening to these stories.
This piece includes our
crochet interpretation of Australian eucalyptus, wattle and banksia, as well as
found natural objects. The story is a day in the life of Gumnut Babies, which
includes a trip to the hat shop, before setting off to see a show at the
Lillipilli Theatre – all the while being mindful of the evil, watching Banksia
Men, who prey on unsuspecting gumnut babies and who are lurking in a nearby
Banksia Tree.
