'Hare Sculpture' Jumper

Following on slightly from last week and the theme of willow, the inspiration behind this jumper was a sculpture of a hare made from willow and wire by the artist Julieann Worrall Hood. The sculpture that this design is taken from is one of twelve willow hare sculptures, and the picture of them all together looks really amazing.

This jumper uses the leaping hare motif on the front. The hare on the front would be made out of wool, placed so as to make the shape of the hare and then zig-zag stitched over top of to keep it in place. Alternately, a simpler approach to creating it would be to embroider the hare on.

The rest of the jumper is a relatively simple. The jumper is navy to contrast with the rust colour of the hare. Ribbing is used around neckline and the hem. The cuffs are quite long and are also ribbed.

I hope you liked this design, it is part of my 'Designs inspired by Art' project. For more designs, check back here next week or visit my other blog, Bronzedale Bridal Designs at www.bronzedalebridaldesigns.blogspot.co.uk/
