Oh goodness me, Pippa, I'm lost for words! I've worn out both "beautiful" and "gorgeous" when it comes to your work, but this really takes the cake. It's stunning!!!
Gosh ages, just cutting up the twine and dyeing it took some time. To knot initially, is time consuming purely because your lumbering around the twine that can be really weighty. Once I hit my knot stride, I can do it quite quickly in 3 hr sittings! Overall I would say 25-30 hrs? Kinda of makes it to hard to price so it will stay on my wall for a bit ......oh dear ;)
I feel the same way Dana, just when I feel I have no more knot to give, I reach a new stride! I can't wait to do another! I have a month left before I go back to work, should be able to fit it in! :)
yeah baby!!...its gorgeous. we had one similar back in the day (ie 70`s) that my mum made and used as a curtain in our laundry...it was cream with brown beads....prob the only colours you could get then?? ive told mum to get back into it and she just looks at me funny...must show her your blog......I love it xxx
