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
