Yesterday the crochet community was struck by some very sad news …..
The colorful, unique and so very talented “one of a kind” Marinke/Wink passed away last Friday – may she have found peace at last.
I’m at a loss for words, so I decided to dedicate this “Treasury Tuesday” to her and everything she meant for us crafters. Her being amongst many other things the designing queen of mandalas, I’ve found some beautiful ones to honor her.
My favorites this week, are Marinke’s own gorgeous designs, and you can find the patterns here.
Love,
Marianne xx
PS: The lovely Kathryn / Crochetconcupiscence has already set up a truly wonderful project in memory of Marinke / Wink; if you’re interested, here‘s the link to the detailed information

Such sad news – I was so shocked when her sister announced it. I hope to join in the project to raise awareness too.

Thank you for sharing the #MandalasForMarinke project. I hope that it will help people channel their grief and celebrate Wink’s life and work while raising awareness about depression.
This tribute to her is really lovely. <3

Thank you so much, Kathryn. I always believe there is something to learn, something positive to be found from and in every situation – but quite honestly it’s very hard this time…… Wink was such a wonderful, lovely woman, full of humor and SO talented ……
It’s probably what you’re doing right now – raising awareness that’s exactly the “positive” and I do salute you big time for doing this! My “Mandala for Wink” is on its way to you, sweetheart! Marianne xx
