The post Susanna Bauer Crochets Leaves Into Intriguing Artworks appeared first on MyTrendTales.
]]>Meticulously working with a thread and needle, Bauer transforms leaves from different trees into intriguing crochet artworks. Depending on the project, the artist will sometimes create complex and captivating lacework on the edges of the leaves, almost giving them a crocheted frame.
Other times, Bauer will use threads to highlight their networks of veins, join different leaves together, or completely transform their shape.
Bauer creative process includes collecting leaves, washing them, and hanging them out to dry for several weeks. She doesn’t treat the leaves with any kind of chemicals to make them stronger and instead relies on her judgment to recognize the limits of each leaf.
“By combining crochet with such a seemingly fragile material as a leaf, I’m seeking to explore themes including the value of time and preciousness of objects, tenderness and tension in human connections, and vulnerability and resilience, found in nature as a whole as well as in the stories of individual beings,” Bauer explains in an artist statement shared on her website.

]]>A large portion of Seiman’s creative effort goes into creating crochet seashells, which are her most sought-after pieces. They come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and colors, and are a perfect decoration. There is no need to get your feet wet to obtain these seashells while they can also never break.
Besides seashells, Seiman also crochets beautiful seahorses, corals, mushrooms, and flowers.
“I love that crochet can be so versatile,” the artist shares on her website. “With some experience one can actually crochet any shape in the world. And that is exactly what makes it so exciting for me – there is still so much to discover, so many paths to take!”
Seiman is a professional swimming coach, but crochet has been her passion for the past two decades. Her amazing crochet pieces can be found in various design shops in Estonia while also being available on her webshop. Check out more of them by scrolling below.

]]>Smith’s crochet works contain detailed recreations of wedding cakes and other desserts, salads, roasted meat, fish, and much more. He occasionally also ventures in crocheting cookware and other household items.
According to Smith, he inherited his love for crochet from his mother when he was just a boy.
“My mother was a talented craftswoman and I was always shadowing her, wanting to be doing what she was doing,” he shared in a recent chat with The Design Files.
After finishing art school, Smith ventured into other art mediums and later served as a council worker. Still, he honed his crochet skills, often working on crocheting items after his daily job.
But nowadays, crocheting is Smith’s only preoccupation. He retired from his council job in 2020 and decided to return to his mother’s hometown of Penola. There, he continued creating crochet food and other items, often working 14 to 16 hours a day.
“There are so many ideas running around in my head that I want to do, and it’s going to take me the rest of my life to get them all made,” Smith explains.
