i love experimenting … i made two crochet cuffs featuring beads and hardware
however, one cuff sold before i had a chance to photograph it
this one i got in time
i’ve called it urban
the beads are sustainable wood
the buttons are from my stash and the washers came from the hardware section at our local supermarket
for sale – click here
here is another early attempt at crochet jewelry
the variegated green and brown thread was originally embroidery on a knitted top, which was unpicked and wound into balls
the rose is done in a pale lemon yellow
simple chain ties are embellished with square wooden beads
sold
after not doing any scrumbling for a while (too busy with subversive and other crochet), here are 2 which i made for a freeform crochet round robin
i took these photos with my phone … not the best quality, but you get the picture <=)
this one is going to someone who wanted pinks with a touch of red –
and this one is for a person who just loves aqua and orange –
the flowers are loosely arranged – the recipient can then add them wherever they like
i’m sending the beads as an extra little gift, for embellishment …

i just love the work of this dutch artist … it’s so nice to know there are more people who do subversive crochet + stitch
my parents were dutch so i feel a link to her and her work in more ways than one …
some pictures to tempt you –
here’s the link to her website – check out the gallery and other links, and don’t be put off by it being in dutch … the art speaks for itself –
