In the beginning there was crochet - then it got real fuzzy from then on.

Hello and welcome. My crocheting has been and remains a huge part of my life. I have been crocheting since I was 18 That was 1973, so you know.

I have always been an experimental crocheter. Leaving patterns or following or writing designs behind early in my study of the art of crochet.

Crochet stitch books make up most of my collection of books. Also inspirational fiber/crochet artists like: #SylviaCosh, #JudithCopeland, #JulieSchafferDale, #ZenobiaBaily, #RuthAsawa, #PaulineTurner. #PrudenceMapstone, #JoHamilton, #Ming Yi Sung and many more have directed my my path.

I love color and color theory and it  is the devil in my work.

About ten years ago I stumbled on crochet felting. Jerry Rigdon was free forming and Molly Andries was felting and they came to a crochet meeting and I loved both of what they were doing and I decided to see if I could free form/felt crochet.

This was my first attempt at free styling/felting.

I call it cro-fusion now. It seem to fit what I do. My Mom passed away and I inherited her costume jewelry so I started using it in my designs. I ended up having the practical side of me come out and did a series of art bags. Also, I am an impatient crocheter so even though these items were regular purse size once they were felted they are smaller. Just right for that "special" little black dress event.
