This was my scrumble for the FFcrochet group who asked for pieces to reresent the four seasons. 52 artists sent in crochet pieces,and Myra Woods who organised the whole thing has not only published all the entries on linebut has had a book published containing all the entries. The proceeds are all for charity

These are my new crocheted bits for what I hope will be the beginning of a local coral reef. Later this month I will be demonstrating at the local flower show and hope to interest other "hookers" in joining me to make this a truly community venture

Inside the sketchbook are an assortment of pockets for tags,cards etc., and I have used A4 drawing paper, coloured pages and paper with interesting textures. The front page is just for show and is a cgi of a phote of honeysuckle!
