Crochet in Art

Jessica Bosworth Smith, a honours degree art student at Rhodes University, has made a HUGE (1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5m) sculpture that she wants to cover in crochet work. I have been commissioned to do the crochet work for her. I'm busy on the last couple of pieces and look forward to seeing the finished project that will go on exhibition in October.
We have used Ell Family Knit Double Knit in Cherry red, Black and White.
It is heartwarming to see "the younger generation" using crochet in all kinds of projects. Go Girl!!!
