Bold Statement Jewelry Using Crochet

One day browsing thru a magazine I ran into a beautiful crochet table runner, featuring flowers and leaves in contrasting colors of fuchsia and lime green, and then I thought to myself "wow, I wish I could make something like that"

I realized at that very moment (it was very much a light bulb moment) that crochet was not confined to sweet, old grandma's untrendy designs, and that all it took was a little imagination and some boldness to make designs that would stand out from the crowd.

And that's when I started looking around on the net for tutorials and videos so that I could teach myself some crocheting.

I learned some of the basic stitches, and basic is all I need because that sorta opened a few windows in my brain and then some ideas started flowing in........like magic........

I started crocheting loops in different colors and sizes. And putting them together. "Wow, that looks nice", I'd think to myself. "I think I'll make a necklace". Then I started crocheting oval shapes, again in different colors. Then I'd combine my loops and ovals and different findings, gemstones, chains, etc.

The imagination juices just won't stop flowing! I got so many projects lined up waiting to become reality (if the day only had 55 hours instead of 24..... lol!)

I'm also taking Custom Orders. For ideas and inspiration browse around my shop, or even in my "sold items" section.

It is an honor to me to be featured in the prestigious new magazine Jewelry Affaire
