Day 12- Hopeful Spring Florals

3/7/14

I’m kind of hoping Spring is going to happen soon… I think I heard some birds chirping yesterday and it’s starting to be sunny.  Todays piece is an ode to Spring. Pink and floral and sparkly.  

I started with a black plastic cuff and wrapped it with a salmon pink grosgrain ribbon. I wrapped it all the way around and stitched it in place. 

Originally I started by crocheting multiple flowers in yarn to create an asymmetrical pattern, but it started to look really crafty so I started again. I made 3 layers for the flowers using different weight string and yarn and used vintage crystal beads to fill the center three.


I attached the flowers to the cuff and added a chain wrapped back and forth around each flower. I think this style would work well for a necklace or headband as well.



I'm on a crocheting kick at the moment so expect to see more of that soon. 

xo,
Arielle
