Color Studies: Handmade Woolen Objects

An impromptu photoshoot of hand-knit, crocheted, and woven pillows, sweaters and a table runner, resulted in these fun images full of color, texture, and depth. I will probably print these out "letter" size and cut them up to use in my paintings and assemblages. These items were created by my grandmother, aunt, mother and father. The ladies knit and crocheted, and my Dad had a small Morgan Inkle Loom, and made belts, scarves, tablerunners, pocketbooks and the like. Regular casey/artandcolour readers will remember I've photographed wool afghans before, and used them in collages.
