STAR LIGHT STAR BRIGHT

Where do you get your crochet inspiration?  

This year my Christmas Decos inspiration came from this famous Van Gogh painting known as "Starry Night"  and also from Don McLean's lyrics  "Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)"

Stars, Sky, Moon, Christmas Night

See those lovely stars in the sky, swirling blobs of white and yellow? obviously Van Gogh's sky is beautifully exaggerated with the brilliance of the stars.  However, I do love this painting. Something very soothing and comforting about it!  

What do you think?  Does it inspire you to create?

Well it definitely inspired me and here are my Christmas Decos for this year, something you can also add to your last minute TO DO LIST!

I've created three little motifs to be hung on the tree or along a string garland, or anywhere that takes your fancy. You can make a lovely garland and hang in the window or above your fireplace, add some starry starbursts, swirls and starshine and liven up your festive scene. 

CHRISTMAS DECOS include the following motifs:

1. Starburst
2. Swirls
3. Starshine
