Red Riding Hood collage of inspiration

Mixed Inspiration for red riding hood

Adult Fairy Tale Inspired Knits

Fairy Tale Inspired Knits.

I'm not talking about classic sweet pink designs for babies or even young adults (teenagers 12-15) I'm imagining red riding hoods cloak in Vintage Red Jaegar Rags to Riches, Rumplstiltskin in Rowen glimmer yellow, cream with gold patches not to mention Cinderella in Raw Silk and pure cotton. All these will be designs for adults with serious fabulousity in mind. I'll be working on sketches next week so hopefully I'll have some sketched designs up and running.

anywhohow here are some of my basic ideas to start with.

Red Riding Hoods cloak in Vintage Red Jaegar Rags to Riches
Rumpelstiltskin in Rowan glimmer yellow, cream with gold patches
Cinderella in Raw Silk and pure Cotton
Snow White in pure Cotton and black lace
Alice in Wonderland with Blue,Black and White cotton
Mother Goose in Grey Soy
Swan Lake in White Cotton and feathers
Hansel and Gretal in Black mixed media

Fearless Vampire Killers neck ruff/necklace

The wonder of youtube means that I have been watching said film in a bid to banish insomnia. It didn't work and I ended up watching bbc4 documents on the cell and robert hooke.
I have however been inspired by this wonderful red dress to create a neckpiece in blood red yarn, maroon, gold and black lace, pearls, hand crochet cream lace and roses.

pics of the necklace coming as soon as I get the setting for the photograph right. Something with old stone I think.
