This sweet crochet contribution is made using the free Tuts+ crochet mandala tutorial by Wink. I love the colors selected for this piece, colors that give it an organic floral feeling filled with brightness and hope.
Tag: suicide
As most of you know, Wink and I first “met” when she shared her story with me for Crochet Saved My Life. That was several years ago and we stayed in touch periodically online since that time. I’ve been deeply impacted by her suicide and hope that the Mandalas For Marinke remembrance project will continue to honor her through sharing her work and raising awareness about depression. Today I thought I’d share her story as it was printed in Crochet Saved My Life.
I am sitting here stunned, shocked, saddened, scared … Feeling a world’s worth of emotions that don’t have a proper place in my brain. Marinke, known to many as Wink of A Creative Being, has succumbed to the depths of depression and taken her own life.
