Default Re: DRAFT -- And the Winners Are....

THIRD PRIZE - Nappies & Nappy Accessories

From the Maker....


"My entry is a pair of crocheted "Sun, surf and sand" short shorties. I used all Aussie wool and dyes (of course!)... The wool is from Nundle Woollen Mills and each colour (including yarn for embelleshments) was hand-dyed using special combinations of Landscape dyes to get the right colours for the sky, water and sand of an Australian beach.
The sun and the tree were crocheted seperately, sewed on and then embellished with leaves / rays. They are crocheted using my own original pattern "


"It was very hard to think of one "thing" to represent what Australia means to me (actually I couldn't think of just one thing!) but since this item is made for a child, it made me think of my own childhood, and to me nothing sums up my happy Aussie childhood more than sunny, laid back beach holidays.

I used the pandanus trees and the colours of Mooloolaba beach, Qld (where I spent many happy holidays as a child) as my inspiration. I've kept the design quite simple to highlight the beautiful contrasting colours of a sunny day at the beach. "

Congratulations Lucy!!
