@CheerBear This came up on my Facebook feed and I thought of you. You may have seen it 

sorry put wrong link up, working on finding it again 😳

Pretty amazing artist. 

Ok. It came up as a George takei post on Facebook. I thought I’d put up the one I saw on Facebook but it wasn’t and may have been something triggering in that video (not major but enough for me to chicken out on posting it). 

If you look up Katika crochet art there is lots of amazing artworks.

That’s stunning @Teej ....

Aside from painting, working in craft and textiles is another area of interest for me.  I am toying with concepts involving woven “canvases” and embroidery .... this was a joy to watch.

I just had a look at the first link you put up and then a quick Google of her - Katika Crochet? Ah-mazing @Teej! I hadn't seen her before and my face did this 😮 That's some serious art work!

Thank you for sharing that one (even if you didn't mean to!) and for thinking of me 😊

I hope it wasn’t triggering @CheerBear. She is amazing. There is lots of stuff too.

cheers @Faith-and-Hope

Want to know something? I can actually legitimately post here. I created a crafty thing while I was away using the techniques I learned. 😜. I created an art piece that will hold my car keys. Bought a cheap frame and painted a background and the frame and then added flowers covering the hooks to put my keys on 😊

@CheerBear, @Faith-and-Hope

Thanks @CheerBear. Not sure if you saw my edit but there is heaps of her work and videos under katika crochet art.

Woohoo @Teej! That is really cool to hear! I love that you have something special that you created to have with you after your tim away! Big smile!

Is it purple/purplish?
