Seascape Freeform Crocheted Wall Hanging

Description

Original Design; ooak

This was my first attempt at a freeform crochet wall hanging, and it was a lot of fun. I was inspired to create an ocean scene, so many of the shapes were crocheted purposefully, rather than purely randomly. I used many different yarns in this piece, quite a few from my stash of handspun yarn, and also some commercially spun yarns, including novelty yarns. The scene contains shell shapes, swimming fish, part of a starfish, and a sea anenome, as well as swirls and waves. Some of the shapes were crocheted as part of the fabric, others were crocheted separately and appliqued in place. Colors include blues, teals, magentas, lavenders, purples, oranges and greens. Fibers used include wool, ramie, cotton, silk, and synthetics. The hanging is suspended by a wooden rod with caps on each end, which has a crocheted wool loop attached to the end caps. This piece is a one of a kind work of art, with many hours of labor resulting in a piece created with lots of attention to detail.

Dimensions: Approximately 9 ½ inches wide (width varies a bit, as this piece was crocheted in a freeform style and is not perfectly uniform) by 16 ½ inches from top of rod to lower edge of hanging. Wooden rod measures about 11 ½ inches long. Hanging loop is about 6 inches from rod at highest point.

Materials: Wool, ramie, cotton, silk, and synthetics

Washing instructions: Fabric part only may be hand washed gently in cool water and dried flat after shaping.
