Crochet Paper Rose Experiments

MoiraCrochetsPlarn by MoiraCrochetsPlarn
Inspired from simple paper flowers that are gathered and tied at the base, I've showcased four(4) variations of crochet roses made of plarn* from the many I have created. Each variety was chosen because it has the right right size and unique shape. Although the photographs I've taken are beautiful, I'm not sure if they were able to capture the difference in shape of each rose. Nevertheless, the photos are so lovely I immortalized them in Zazzle with beautiful quotes about recycling.
