Lee Twenty-six year old Aussie Aussie Aussie! I am surgically attached to my Ipod and crochet hook. M&ms are as important as oxygen. Einstein hit the nail on the head with "Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere."
Harry Potter Trio [Gobelt of Fire] Started 7th June, 2010 Finished 28th June, 2010 Blah A spur of the moment piece from an awesome promo shot of the 4th installment. Thought i'd try mixing the blues with the greys and it came out looking so striking and alive! Harry totally pops out and looks as though he's coming right at you More Pictures
Dad's Collage Started 24th April, 2010 Finished 5th June, 2010 Blah A collage featuring my Dad as a 2yr old snapping his fingers surrounded by his beloved radio paraphernalia, an old style radio, a retro Microphone and the logo of his fave station growing up in Sydney in the 60s/70s !
I love the old style feel with the greys against those vivid
blues and i'll never forget the teary reaction it caused in Dad when he first saw it. Truly Magical!

Gone With The Wind Started 2nd March, 2010 Finished 22nd April, 2010 Blah After 25yrs on this planet, I FINALLY sat and watched 'Gone With The Wind'. What an incredible film! Just had to do a piece!!
This is by far the biggest and most beautiful piece I have attempted so far and I really love it! I went with the blues over greys, because I thought they would give the piece more depth and reflect the somberness of the movie a lil. Or it could be because I knew I had a large stash of blues More Pictures
Ginny Weasley [Last panel!] Started 19th Feb, 2010 Finished 2nd March, 2010 Blah In the words of Michael Jackson.."THIS IS IT!". The last character to be added to the Hogwarts Bunch! Miss Ginny Weasley! More Pictures
Jacob Black [Twilight] Started 10th Feb, 2010 Finished 19th Feb, 2010 Blah So on the back of the popularity of my Bella & Edward piece and after seeing 'New Moon'..
I thought a Jacob piece was in order! I was going to go down the shirtless, buff, drool path and choose a shot depicting his err best features (all the ladies, and some of the blokes, ya'll with me -_^?!) But unfortunately I didn't have enough wool - but I reckon he looks pretty fab here anyway More Pictures
John Lennon Started 27th Jan, 2010 Finished 8th Feb, 2010 Blah Spurred on by the 'Knit your fave Beatle' thread over on The Beatles forum on Ravelry, I thought i'd pay hommage to John
I love all four and will probably crochet all of them at some point, but purely based on the 'cuteness' factor - it's John circa. Hard Days Night era for me I've tried a lil summin summin different with the colouring on this piece and I FRIGGING LOVE IT!! More Pictures
Harry Potter Started 16th Jan, 2010 Finished 26th Jan, 2010 Blah Mr. Potter version 2.0! Those who have been following my progress on the Hogwarts Bunch Blanket will know what i'm on about, but for those who don't this is the new ang greatly improved Harry panel for the Hogwarts blankie! With a bunch more shading added, the chosen one measures in at approx. 66x50cms. I loved watching this one come to life! I still have no idea why I chose a hot pink background for him but what the frig! I'm 'n it! More Pictures Davy Jones [The Monkees] Started 25th Dec, 2010 Finished 15th Jan, 2010 Blah "Wake up sleeeepy Jean"
I've been in with the Monkees since forever and thanks to my Ipod randomly popping up with them more frequently than usual, i've decided to pay hommage in the way of a Monkees pop art style 4-block blanket
Davy is the first cab off the rank and is also my first attempt at a piece made up of pinks! I'm so chuffed with how he turned out! I especially love the pink shading down the left side of his hair More Pictures
Hagrid Started 22nd Dec, 2009 Finished 31st Dec, 2009 Blah "Shut up Dursley, yeh great prune!". Man I love this guy! Panel #8 in the Hogwarts Bunch blanket is Hogwarts sexiest giant This panel was almost the cause of some serious RSI thanks to all that FREAKING HAIR! And I thought Hermione was bad! So close to giving him a 'photoshopped trim' it wasn't funny...

Bella & Edward [Twilight] Started 13th Dec, 2009 Finished 21st Dec, 2009 Blah So late last year I finally got my arse around to seeing the first film in the Twilight franchise and by god...these 2 smoked up the screen with hotness! I knew I had to do a piece capturing the bubbling chemistry between them More Pictures
Bon Scott & Angus Young [AC/DC] Started 17th Oct, 2009 Finished 12th Dec, 2009 Blah One word = LEGENDS
Measuring 1m x 1m this is the biggest piece I have done thus far and I can't see myself parting with it!
Brothers in ROCK This shot was taken in 1976 at The Marquee in London. More Pictures
Tom Riddle aka Baby Voldy Started 6th Oct, 2009 Finished 15th Oct, 2009 Blah So in trying to keep with the 'fun' side of things - I decided to go with young Tom Riddle as opposed to a snake-nostril-flaring scary arse version of adult Voldy. I love this shot and to be honest, I reckon it's freakier than old Voldy. There's something disturbing about a kid looking so damn miserable, but it certainly gets the whole 'evil-from-the-start' thing across!

Albus Dumbledore Started 13th Dec, 2009 Finished 5th Oct, 2009 Blah The original and the best Dumbledore, Mr. Richard Harris! Unfortunately I can't get into Gambon's depiction, so when it came to choosing a picture of the Hogwarts Headmaster, I had to go with twinkley-eyed Harris!

Freddie Mercury [Queen] Started 16th Sep, 2009 Finished 30th Sep, 2009 Blah Freddie was made for a mate's 40th and I still scare myself when I think that I rushed this through in 14 days, INSANE!!
I loved watching Fred come to life in a sea of blues. This shot is taken from the most brilliant 20mins of rock seen on the world's stage at Live Aid in 1985. R.I.P Freddie <3

Draco Malfoy Started 7th Sep, 2009 Finished 12th Sep, 2009 Blah Ouuu doesn't he look like a sly, snotty-nosed piece of %$#! here Another panel that was quite quickly to make thanks to his off center position.
