It all started with this little guy, made a couple of years go ... He has similar friends, who populated my blog in various periods ( a  fox and a  matryoshka , just to name a couple), but today I'll talk about this choco bunny only! After I made it, I had the idea to develop it differently, but it was put in a box, instead, and I forgot about its existence until .... Two weeks I was cleaning my "studio" (that is the dining area, where I actually work everyday) and in a box I found that choco bunny : I didn't have any excuse to put it back in where I found it and then pretend I didn't see it, so ....

Here is my little contribution for you  Wink …. I've followed one of your mandala patterns ( from your book  Boho Crochet ) : the Picot-Edge Mandala and it was very easy to crochet, but not relaxing, as I was thinking of you along each round of my work.. I'm not a mandala person usually, but I hope that the colours chosen for this mandala are really right to honour you and your love for the boho style… I'm joining in the  #MandalasForMarinke  collaborative crochet art project, promoted by  Kathryn Vercillo , that accepts crochet mandalas in Wink's honour and to raise awareness about depression. Dear Wink you will be missed… Dear Kathryn thank you for your initiative …. xxxx Alessandra
