NEW new projects!

If you read my previous post, I said I was going to start on some crazy creatures from my sister's doodle notebook. I picked one out, and got to work. A few hours later, this is what I had created.


It does look like Amanda's drawing, but I dunno... it's just not right... I got to thinking about it's structural stability, and realized there is no way to have that giant head on a tiny bird's body (yes, my sister is out there lol)... at least not without using a dowel, but then, if a child were to play with the toy, it could potentially poke out and hurt them, and I don't feel like getting sued LOL. So I switched over to jewelry. I found a gorgeous pattern through Crochet Pattern Central, and got to work. I don't have a picture of the original necklace I made, but I may take one here after a bit. I loved the idea of making simple wearable crochet creations, so I whipped up a few more necklaces! Here's just a couple.

4 stranded necklace with removable flower.

I have to admit, I'm getting a little addicted to jewelry making! My 21st birthday is Saturday, and I'm half tempted to ask my boyfriend, parents, sister, and friends to buy me #3 crochet thread! LOL
