Wire Crochet

Wire!

I enjoy doing a few things with wire. I usually like heavy gauge wire, but this week it's been 28 gauge. I came across Yoola on the Internet and became inspired to do some wire crochet. Her jewelry is lovely!

 I have made one necklace from Parawire, and one pair of earrings.

 

 

In the past I was taught to do Viking Knit. I didn't think it was too much fun, but it can be a wonderful chain to showcase items. This chain is brass with Luger shell casings as end caps. The Swarovski and pearl rondells are from a Bead & Button pattern.

 



I am looking forward to enameling!

Winter Can Be Fun!

Winter in Arizona is a time for creativity. Last winter I made two queen sized quilts, this year I have been working on two more. I like fabric almost as much as I like beads. My large quilt has yet to be machine quilted. I do that myself. I can't say that I love my color choices this time and so call it 'Sour Lemons".

Four years ago I planned on making my granddaughter a flannel rag quilt, I did finish that one. It's 80 x 80" and cozy.
