...just a few of the beautiful things that are inspiring me at the moment, and how cool is Big Al!? he's only one of the amazing creatures crocheted by Ang Davidson, i urge to take a peek at her etsy shop, her attention to detail and the amount of work in each of her pieces is just incredible!
...
...yesterday i managed to get some pretty pics of the little crochet pieces i've been pottering away on. first up is the button necklace, i've been wanting to make something pretty with my favourite vintage buttons for a while, then a couple of weeks ago i thought of this...
...i dug out the finest crochet hook i had, some vintage silk embroidery thread and set to. i'm really pleased with how it turned out and love how the mother of pearl buttons catch the light and change colour. i used one of my most favourite buttons for the fastener, this silver decorated glass flower. i've got one more of buttons that i think will look great on a red strand...
...spurred on by my success i was inspired to try a second one, but this time with tiny little crochet flowers and brass sequins, also finished with a glass button as a fastener...
...i love the textured grey/brown colour of this yarn and the two of them look really sweet hanging together, see here. i really enjoyed making these and now i can't help wondering how many different colourways i'm going to need to co-ordinate with all my clothes... ;)
...
...btw, thank you all very much for your comments on my last post, i'm touched by how you're all thinking of me :) i haven't been very good at getting back to you all this last week or two, but i promise it's on my to do list and it will be a welcome distraction from some much needed accounting that's also on that list :(
