Playing with weaving in the round

I am working on a series of round structures. My initial interest was created by a day course advertised by out of the blue studio in Ōpunake. I couldn’t make the course but I started working on pieces within a steel ring. This pieceis based ona 30 cm ring and has embroidery stitches and free form crochet. It is quite time consuming to prepare but as I am stillsitting for quite long periods of time as my husband convalesces, it helps to keep me calm and centred. I love working with textured yards. The photo shows the finished round still in the hoop before mounting on the metal ring. The covered circles are made from plastic bottle stops with buttonhole stitch worked over them - part of my recycle focus
