Crocheted Steampunk

I wasn't quite sure what to call this style, so I've decided on crocheted steampunk.

This necklace is titled

Do Not Disturb.

It has a ceramic face, some felted beads, an antique key, an antique leather button and 3 beautiful glass vintage buttons. It all comes together with a fine cotton crochet thread.

One of a kind.

Artwear.

Thanks for having a look.

Oddly Green

I started creating this necklace a couple of months ago and have finally finished it.

It's available for purchase in my Etsy shop.

Made of organic cotton, clay, leather, and an antique glass button.

Thanks for looking.

Limitless

Yesterday should have been my Frilly Friday post, but sometimes there just aren't enough hours in a day. I'm sure you all know what I mean.

I've been working on this necklace for weeks now and finally decided last night that it is finished.

I named it limitless, because of the limitless possibilities that you can wear this piece.

It's 100% cotton thread, crocheted in a freeform lace, around 130 inches of cotton cord.

The ends connect with 2 pearl buttons.

It has a vine of flowers, vintage glass pearls and loops (leaves).

The loops can button onto any of the pearls along the vine.

It can dangle, be wrapped around as many times as you like, or removed and worn as a bracelet.

The necklace itself can be worn long and lengthy or wrapped up tight as a choker.

This is the most versatile, one of a kind piece, I've created so far.

I think you could wear it as a casual piece or all dressed up.

It is available for purchase in my Etsy shop.

I also finished up this bag I've been working on for my stepdaughter, Anita.

She's coming home from TN this weekend and I wanted to have it finished for her when she gets here.

Anita is a potter and also works for MTV.

The huge, beautiful button on the bag was created by her. You can purchase buttons like this at her Etsy shop.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog.

It gets me through the day knowing that you are out there creating just like me.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
