Deer Head

I've been wrestling with what to make my first blog post about for what seems like ages. All this over thinking has led to me to not post anything. 

Well enough's enough. (Does anyone else think enough is a really funny looking word?)

May I present my Deer Head. I've named her 

Bessie.

She's a life size taxidermy form, complete with glass taxidermy eyes.

I knit and crocheted her body. The construction was freeform. No real sketches involved. I knitted the larger sections first. I then attached crochet motifs where they fit. I used circle and hexagon motifs. There are 36 hexagons total.

I actually had to stop myself from adding more. 

I have a slight obsession with hexagons. But thats another story...
