Tralalala

There are times when I am simply stunned by the beauty of Japanese design and craftsmanship, today I found these miniscule crochet pieces by Tralalala Lab, not only are they exquisite, but the photography of them is just delightful to.

Louise Bird

Today I found the work of Louise Bird, and as ever, realised that it had been sitting right under my nose at 'Bird in the House', everything you could ever want to know is always on a friends blog. I love the way that Louise is making sense of the world the universe and all those big questions that blow your mind with crochet, I also love the way that strangely it makes sense.

"My practice investigates the relationship between the unimaginably huge and the invisibly small. researching the dissipating boundaries between art, science and religion, I have come to believe that art, science and religion are the same thing. Within each there is a language that describes the creativity of the universe." Louise Bird

Aurelie Mathigot

Aurelie Mathigot is a master of crochet, but she is also a wonder at styling and creating interest, through her use of unexpected materials and subjects to create wonder in installations and environments.

Pip Brant

Pip Brant is an artist who uses found and familial textiles to communicate as an artist. In this veil piece I just love the effect of the shadows created by the crochet.

Sophie Digard
