Well, I cannot tell you how tempted I was whole summer to try tapestry crochet! The internet was (and it still is!) swarming with gorgeous patterns and with my overburdened schedule I didn't dare think of undertaking a new project.
However, I thought I might twist things around and make a faux tapestry crochet. I had this cuff ready to be flowered with my crochet flowers but instead I decided to cross-stitch a rose. The closest to tapestry crochet I could allow myself to get for the time being.
I love how it turned out and I believe I will indulge in more projects like this one. Cross-stitch is close to my heart because that's how I entered the craft world - cross-stitching a bunny gobelin at the age of 7 or 8.
Have you tried tapestry crochet? Do you like it? On my pinterest page I have pinned several bag projects for future crafting if you like to check them out.
Hello Maya, I love your gorgeous cuff and the cross stitching of the rose if just beautiful!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Julie! Thank you on the lovely comment. I was surprised at how fast I stitched it. It certainly opened up the gate for more such projects :)
DeleteMaya, its gorgeous and I have never seen anything like this before. When I saw the thumbnail I thought you had done tapestry weaving or embroidery. This is indeed such and ingenious way to do it
ReplyDeleteAnd much easier to tell you the truth Divya :)
DeleteI only wish I had enough free time to extend these kind of projects...
It turned out really beautiful! I wish I could wear cuffs like these but my wrists are too thin. Instead, I would apply the motif on a bag or box cover. Never tried tapestry crochet before! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Alhana. If you ask me, cuffs make thin wrists more elegant and bring up air of sofistication. Applying the motif on a wicker chair has been whirling in my mind since I first saw the idea on the internet, but putting it on a bag would also be fantastic!
DeleteThis crocheted tapestry cuff looks so pretty! I love how you achieved the cross stitch tapestry look, simply beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Keri! I am so satisfied this project turned just the way I hoped it will.
DeleteOh my! These are darling! Thank you for sharing with us on the Art of Home-Making Mondays at Strangers & Pilgrims on Earth! :)
