Crocheted Button Necklace, blue

Crocheted this from various crochet threads in my stash. One half has the center turquoise disk, the other has the royal blue frill and the silver button, and they button together by overlapping.

In the sunshine, after noon--the trick is to chalk in the shadows of morning, but in a spot that will be sunny later!

Freeform Crocheted Necklace

The pink and black parts are on one side of the necklace, the antique boot button and gold frills are on the other part, and they button together. Mostly thrifted crochet thread, no pattern, just messing around.

Birdie Backpack, 2010 edition
| |
|
I made the backpack below as a custom order in 2009. And the owner loved it, so she sent me a second identical backpack, and asked me to put the same photo on it, just in case something happened to the first! It's not identical, but it's very similar.
Mocha Antlers Hat

|
|
Still deciding what to call this, but the "antlers" are made with hyperbolic crochet. They can be repositioned to look more like flowers, not so extended. Most of the yarn here is thrifted.
