Freeform Crochet

Sea Garden

This handbag has a freeform crochet piece sewn to the front of a recycled purse. The freeform was made to look like an undersea garden. Not for sale.

 

Spring Meadow

 

I started this purse in Prudence Mapstone's freeform purse class at the national 2004 CGOA conference and finally finished it in January 2005! It consists of flower and leaf motifs sewn to a mesh purse form. I got the bamboo handles from an old purse that I bought at a thrift store. I then added beads and several leaf-shaped pins (also found at a thrift store). I'm working on the lining now (which is the part I hate doing most because it involves hand sewing). This purse is also on display at http://handbags.knotjustknitting.com.

 

Tribal Princess

This mask is made of freeform crochet over a plastic mask form. The freeform is done in cotton crochet thread with bead embellishments. The backing is black felt and it ties at the back of the head. The mask is currently on display at the Bothell (Washington) Public Library.

 

$75.00

 

 

Most of my purses consist of freeform crochet worked over a recycled purse. The crochet is sewn to the purse, so that it will not come loose. The purses are all in mint condition.

A Walk in the Woods

 

The freeform crochet on this purse flows down, but not all the way over, the faux crocodile trim at the bottom of the purse. $65.00. This purse is in the inaugural exhibition (March 2004) at http://handbags.knotjustknitting.com.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Moonlit Night

 

This purse represents the peaceful nights I spent with myself. The large picture shows one side, while the small shows a close-up of the other side. This purse was featured in an art exhibition at www.postpicasso.com and in the March 2004 at http://handbags.knotjustknitting.com. $125.00

 

Will Work For Yarn (Sold)

This fun purse was made from a collection of many yarns. It found a good home with my sister, Tracey.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Neopolitan - Not for Sale

 

With this bag, I took a purchased tote (bought at Big Lots) and make freeform crochet pieces to fit the patchwork shapes on the front of the bag. I then sewed the freeform to the stitching. I use this bag to hold crochet projects.
