Evans, Karen

Handmade crocheted dreamcatcher. Roughly heart-shaped with suspension loop. Main colours are brown and olive green. Made by Karen Evans of Bedwas during the Covid-19 pandemic.

"Er fod yr holl beth yn erchyll rydyn ni wedi dangos brwydr gryf yn ei herbyn... Rydw i wedi bod yn creu crochet i'w gosod o gwmpas Bedwas i helpu bobl i wenu a fod yn hapus ac i codi calon trwy yr holl beth. Mae ymateb wedi bod yn un bendigedig a rydw i wedi dechrau pobl eraill i creu pethau celf i'w rhannu o gwmpas hefyd". Karen Evans, 19.5.2020.

Crocheted in brown yarn around a heart-shaped wire.The end of the wire has been twisted together at the upper centre. Inside of heart is filled in with crochet stitches using multi-coloured yarn and centre is made up of a crocheted circle in green. In the centre of the circle is a façeted, clear glass bead (Ø = 1.2cm) which has been secured using white thread. There is a 24cm long crocheted hanging loop using brown yarn and suspended from the bottom of the heart is a 10.5cm long brown thread onto which two different types of wooden beads (Ø = 1cm and 1.5cm) have been threaded. These are held in place by a knot in the end of the yarn.
