This is
my first challenge of this kind and I really enjoyed making these pieces.
I learnt
to crochet when I was a little girl and put it aside for 30 years when I
discovered the Freeform Crochet Group and now I’m addicted. I love the
spontaneity, the textures and the variety of designs it produces.
Water
The image
I had in mind was water gushing down a fast stream bubbling and foaming. I used
the technique of crocheting frills onto a backing in various textured
yarns.
Fire
It
reminded me of the sun. I love bright warm colours, orange is my favourite. I
also used some fabric strips for flames. The petals/flames are crocheted onto a
round base.
Earth
Earth
reminded me of the rolling hills of my home in Southern Hungary with their rows
of crops and trees. This piece is a mini-landscape done as true freeform
picking up stitches and adding here and there.
Air
I made
this piece on a horrible grey windy day. I hate wind – it gives me headaches.
This is a representation of how wind picks up rubbish on a street corner and
swirls it around. It’s spiral crochet in a funnel shape.

Tree Hanging
It’s springtime and the gardens and parks in England are beautiful with all the cherry blossoms and rhododendrons and camellias. The original idea is a celebration of spring flowers combined with the scrolling flower designs of traditional Hungarian embroidery.
