Vitamin Kick

Do you remember a necklace I made some years ago?
















Well, today a twin sister was born. Well almost a twin - it's orange - and a very juicy one!


















It features crocheted and felted orange beads, one crocheted flower, vintage plastic and glass beads and sweet pumpkin organza ribbon.

So here were my ingredients:



































This broken necklace from the 40s!! I found it on a local flee market for very cheap, as it was broken beyond reparing.















 And these sweet juicy beads are other finding at a local craft fair. Look how they shine with color!















The little crocheted flower is a real surprise factor in this necklace!
















So that's how it looked when it was ready.


















In a couple of days it will be shipped to a friend of mine, I hope she will enjoy it!

Red crocheted flower rings


At my live craft show my crocheted flower rings were especially popular. And so I made A LOT of them.
Now I am happy to show them here one by one :)

Here come the red ones.

This one is embellished with large wooden bead that adds depth to light and soft crocheted flower.

In this one I used a real turquoise bead, up-cycled from vintage necklace. I love reusing and reshaping vintage and antique jewelry and this ring is a wonderful example of how an old and beautiful bead gets a new life :)

And finally my last red one - with small tube black beads. Poppy ring :)


In all of my rings the metal base is nickel free and it is size adjustable.

Buttons are still on my mind :)


Well, well, I am preparing for Basar Under, where I will have a table for three consecutive Saturdays (December the 4th, 11th and 18th). apparently, my brooches attract more attention to my table than my necklaces :) So be it - it is a mass-brooch-production-factory in my apartment now :) Crocheting, combining, inventing new patterns, sewing buttons, taking pictures...
all this made me realize how urgently I need a proper studio, or at least a corner in a room for my shop :)

Here are two of my new creations - embellished with upcycled buttons. For more info - click on the picture and go to my shop
