Not that I needed to take anything else on, but I did :). I have been trying to think of something I could make that could be a large piece of artwork in our living room. It had to be something I could do, preferably low cost, and something my husband would like. About three days ago, the idea came to me: Crochet a bunch of coral, etc. and put it on a large, long canvas that was covered in linen (our living room has a coastal theme). Then I went to search the internet for coral crochet patterns. While searching, I found out about the whole Sydney Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef and was in AWE! It’s amazing how many artists put in time to crochet and donate their creations to it.
I found this lady too, who does amazing things with yarn! And, lastly, here is a pattern for some of the coral things I found. I so far have created the three things above. I have a lot more to go, but I’m really excited about it. Plus, it will help me cut down on my yarn collection, which has really outgrown it’s storage space.
