Woven Experiment No.64 - Freeform crochet weave without a core using a teardrop of 6mm wax held with figure 8 weave.
I wanted to see if I could weave without using a core of plaster and what the results would be like. The finished piece is small and very light weight, I can rotate it as I work and easily apply weaving on any side. The finished wax piece is holding it’s own shape well, but this may be due to it’s small size. Perhaps I should try another Freeform weave but larger.

The Memorial sculpture is covered with little wooden petals, each one representing a baby, and in some cases two babies.

The sculpture is the main focus of the garden which features paved areas, Lavender beds, carved green Oak benches and box hedging. Leading you into the garden is winding woodland path lined with box hedging.

Sands Memorial Sculpture

The woven cocoon is now complete and in situ at the new Baby Memorial Garden in Markeaton, Derbyshire.

Its taken over 10,000ft of cane to weave the cocoon with one continuous chain stitch, and will become the basis of the memorial for families who have lost their babies during pregnancy or shortly after birth.
