About half way through creating this particular mauve and purple piece I turned it around to add something to another side, and suddenly discovered that it was morphing into...
...a bear in a hat!
The crocheted lurex ruffle had become more like an eye than a flower, the knitted cable was now looking very snout-like, and the bullion clusters seemed to have positioned themselves just where ears and a nose should be.
Since that definitely hadn't been my intention, I started to think about the best way to detract from the impression I was getting...but each time I looked at the scrumble from a certain angle that blasted bear was still there, winking at me.
So don't laugh! In the end I just gave up and went along with it, adding a bobble for an eyeball, a crochet edging around the 'collar', and some purple bouclé ribbons streaming from the back of her hat.
Hope you like her ;-)

ReplyDeleteVery cute! Love the colours!
ReplyDeleteLOvely -- We are so excited as just about to embark on a trip "down under" to your lovely land under a different sky! xx Will give you a scrumbly wave when we are on the Bus from Brisbane to Byron Bay ! x
ReplyDeletehave a great trip, Linda; look left as you head south, and you might just spot me giving you a scrumbly wave back from the top of daisy hill!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, I fell it is a fish, sorry my English is not good enough to tell you how great you are and all the time a see your creations my heart is happy.
ReplyDeleteThis happens to me often. :)
ReplyDeleteUntil scrolling dfown to see the whole thing, i saw a fish too........lol..and in such great fishy colors! ktj
ReplyDeletehehehe, Atelie and Katiejayinpa...someone at Ravelry said they saw a fish there, too. I didn't notice the fish at all, but I guess it was lurking in there too.
ReplyDeletejust shows that scrumbling, like beauty (and all abstract art!), is in the eye of the beholder
but strangely enough, I have another scrumble languishing here that has been reminding me of a fish...perhaps I should finish that one for # 41, and allow it to become as fishy as it wants!!
I saw the bear with a hat...and a bowtie. Wonderful scrumble Prudence! I would call the bear a happy accident.
ReplyDeleteHey Boo Boo, Where's Yogo Bear! Love this little bear-Go with the flow it works the best. Just found your blog-Love it. I want to learn this.
ReplyDeleteYes, of course I like her. As everything which appears on your blog. When I see your scrumbles I want to immediately go out to buy the wonderful coloured wool. Happy new year to you!
ReplyDeleteLove the bear. Isn't it strange how sometimes yarn has a mind of its own and makes something you never invisioned?
ReplyDeleteHugs and happy scrumbling,
Kae
Sometimes it is just best not to fight it! Your bear is wonderful! I followed your scrumble link from Jennie's blog and am glad I did. Never heard of scrumbles, but these are amazing! LOve the last two you posted.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I've been wanting to try this and attach it to a small nuno piece.
