This is actually yesterday's necklace. I couldn't post yesterday on account of a wicked snow/wind storm cutting our power. It's still plenty nasty out so I'm typing with crossed fingers. Hope old man winter just shot the works already for this season.....
Materials: rayon yarn, freshwater pearl, metallic lace.

Nothing says the party's over like strands of used up tinsel on the side of the road. Still pretty enough to make a necklace for the old blog though....
Materials: found tinsel, acrylic cord.

My attempt at Irish crochet lace. Normally you make several solid motifs using a method of crocheting around a cord, then they're suspended in an open work netting which I haven't done here. A little wonky but it's my first go anyway.
Materials: cotton thread, glass bead, acrylic cord.

I've saved bits of practice tatting. They look nice all hitched together, especially with a pretty pink pearl.
Materials cotton thread, freshwater pearl, steel wire, rayon ribbon.

I don't know. I'm getting a little happy with the old trim box and this strange creature is the result. I like my creatures though....
Materials: rayon ribbon, lace, drilled rock.

Found a nice bit of tinsely trim in the studio last night, and this is the season to trim things up all pretty. I'm all about that. I like the pretty.
