Inspiration comes from the strangest places:
I saw this pattern on crochetmagazine.com and decided to make my own. Covering rings with yarn=easy and too young looking in this photo. Adding flair, color and beads? That's more like it!
This is 4 chained crocheted strands hung from either side of a busy middle. My friend Linda called it "Wearable Art". That's sweet. The yarn is simply soft in persimmon, the same yarn and color Kelly and I became addicted to after the VEA auction blanket. First, I cover the ring and adjusted the ripple of the chains around it. Then, I crocheted a random 5 petal flower, adhered a petite fleur to the filigree circle, attach 2 jade green glass leaves, and joined everything in antique brass findings with jump rings. Finally, I hung said ART from the 4, now halved, strands and hand sewed a button as the back closure. The button is my favorite part and Ive been looking for a way to use it since it was donated to me by my friend Heather.
Not only do I love the color, but the quad strand on each side is really a nice touch. (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/crochet-necklace-2 is where I got the necklace idea, after I saw none other than my buddy Kelly create a similar necklace.)
I'm in love with this. Really I am. It's not on Etsy yet - boo. The feather earrings sold too- double boo.
