Work In Progress

Today I have been lazy. I have been enjoying the pleasures of sitting in front of the fireplace, drinking tea, and crocheting a hat for myself. I haven't crocheted anything for a long time, and I felt like doing so a few days ago, when I went and bought myself some yarn. I took some pictures in the afternoon, but now it's dark I already have my hat on. Oh, it feels so good!

Mardi Gras Carnival Inspired: Crocheted Wire Necklace with Reclaimed Beads

Today it's been raining in such a charming way... Very inspiring! So what better way to use some multi-colored semi-precious stone beads (chips actually), that had come off an old pair of summer sandals, than to create a crocheted wire necklace, also throwing in some black vintage czech glass beads?

This is the result:





I love how random and relaxed this necklace looks, with chips and faceted beads here and there adding a variety of texture, which looks so good with crocheted wire! I can almost feel the Carnival coming up...!
