Blooming Colourwheel
I liked this years theme because I love colour. The first thing I did was make some lampwork buttons on a course in Edinburgh with my friend Helen Chalmers. I still didn't know what I was going to make at that point, but felt it was a good start. They ended up being the centres of the flowers.
It was fun going through my boxes of wool and fabric digging out colours to use. The more the merrier, as far as I'm concerned, but I quickly decided on 6 main segments.
Two of the segments are made from paper piecing, a patchwork technique I first tried last year. One is made from knitting, and I taught myself to do short rows for this. The other 3 sections are freeform crochet.
I liked the wheel as it was, but felt it needed more detail, so I started freeform crocheting leaves and flowers. These were sewn and needle felted onto the background in curved lines from the centre to the outside edge of each colour segment. My kitten, Rufus, showed a great deal of interest when I was trying to attach all the flowers, but he sleeps quite a lot so I managed to get them all in place eventually.

For this year's Freeform Challenge I used three secondary triadic colours from the Colour Wheel, namely purple, orange and green, to make a pair of mittens for a friend.
I thought this quote from the famous Russian-French painter Marc Chagall was very appropriate -
"All colours are the friends of their neighbours and the lovers of their opposites."

The Colors of Pain
Chronic continuous pain colors everything with a life-shifting focus.
The blue is time when the pain is not the defining focus of consciousness. Other colors pulsate through life, lasting from a pinprick of moment to years. Pain is physical. Pain is mental. Pain is emotional. Pain is. Pain binds a person to a flatness of life, and textural interest is created from its shades and shapes.

Exhilaration
My piece is called Exhilaration.
On researching the Colour Wheel, these were the colours that stood out for me.
Each time I worked on this piece I felt energised and very happy.
It is all worked in freeform crochet using mainly 4 ply yarns.
When mounted it measures 40 by 40 cm.
