Colorful Crochet Uses Collage Techniques to Create Charming Works of Art

I’ve nev­er been one for cro­chet (I’ve tried—I’m real­ly bad at it), so the freeform cro­chet of Tui­ja Heikki­nen real­ly cap­ti­vate me. She has a unique take on col­lage, opt­ing to craft many sep­a­rate pieces that are then assem­bled into charm­ing com­po­si­tions. Tui­ja lay­ers the cro­chet to build depth and form and will occa­sion­al­ly stitch on top of a piece to add fine details—such as the nose on some­one’s face.

This isn’t the first time I’ve mar­veled over this cro­chet art. See more of Tui­ja’s work from last year.
