Mushrooms

In 2019 I made during #the100dayproject one hundred crochet mushrooms, creating one each day for 100 days in a row.

I loved the topic so much that my crochet mushroom collection is still slowly growing.

Quite often I draw inspiration straight from nature trying to make my mushrooms look like real ones. Other times I let my mind run free and create fun colorful fantasy mushrooms.

Finding out about freeform crochet definitely opened my mind and let my creativity flow more freely. The concept of no right or wrong, and the knowing that there really are no limits appealed to me a lot. Freeform crochet is like painting with yarn and hook. Possibilities are endless!

I like to play with color and texture using a lot of textural stitches, mixing different yarns and threads in my work, creating different layers and often adding beads and sequins.
