Hazel Blomkamp

I mentioned the other day that my favourite project out of the latest Inspirations magazine is a footstool by Hazel Blomkamp. I can’t put a photo of it here without breaching copyright, but I can provide a link to a page where there is a photo of it for you to see. If you click on the magnifying glass below the picture, you’ll get a larger version of it popping up.

Isn’t it exquisite? I had a look at it closeup at the magazine launch and she has used some really lovely stitch combinations, and gorgeous colours.

Hazel is a needlework designer from South Africa. I found that she has her own website for her business, Daaft Designs, and in 2012 she’ll be releasing a book of her designs. That’ll be one to look out for!

    oh, I love it – tho I wish the photo had been taken at a more ‘regular angle’ to see a little more of the work….

    Wow – that’s a cracker of a design, full of life. Thanks for pointing it out!

    Yes, it is very nice. But then I love most things in the Inspirations magazine, if only I had the time!
