Crochet Art

I had a couple of large blank walls in my bedroom that really needed some art. Something that I could look at whilst lying in bed on a lazy weekend morning. So, what if I was to crochet some mandalas and mount them onto canvases? That could work.

I had borrowed this gorgeous book from the library and found some ideal mandalas for my project in it. Perfect size and I could adapt my colour combos to them.


I made five mandalas and chose three to go on the wall together.




I painted the canvases then layed out the crochet, carefully centreing each one. They are attached to the canvases with matching sewing thread. 

Then onto the wall.


I'm so pleased with how they turned out that I'm going to attempt a much bigger one for the lounge. I've picked the colours and I'm looking forward to starting it.
