I entered my Cherry Blossoms Weaving and Crochet into the 2017 Challenge held by the International Freeform Fiberart Guild and it was published and went live online today.<\/strong>
\n This year’s theme was titled “Pattern in Nature”<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

I took and old picture frame I bought at the Goodwill for $5 and threw out the picture.\u00a0 I had my Hubby drill holes in the top and the bottom of the frame for my warp threads to weave in, so the frame became my weaving loom.
\nHere are some close up pics:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

I repainted the brown frame black and the wove my background mat and sky. The clouds are poly fiber fill woven into the sky.
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

I then crocheted the tree branches and stitched them onto the weaving.\u00a0 I brought craft wire from the back of the weaving and stuck it through and crocheted around it for more branches to give it the three dimensional effect.
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

I then crocheted lots of the cherry blossom flowers, leaves and buds and attached them to the branches. All the crochet is freeform (no pattern).<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Here is a link to the online show, which includes entries by fiber artists from all over the world: http:\/\/freeformfiberart.blogspot.co.nz\/2017\/06\/2017-christina-lee.html<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
