I cannot believe that my last Mix & Match play was back in January! Not that my storage boxes are not overflowing; somehow I was so immersed in so m.a.n.y things to do, I just left crochet goodies piling up.
I am contemplating a thorough cleanse and perhaps lots of mix 'n matches at the beginning of the new year, because {happy dance} I will be having a 2-week holiday to use as I please!!!
This is how I mixed and matched my burgundy goodies:
I gathered all the things I picked for this necklace - a sequin decorated bib, crochet flowers and leaves I was going to use, plus a tulle insert and a pearl bead I forgot to include in the picture. I sewed the tulle, leaves and flower in the upper left corner.
Next, and this is my favourite step when working with flowers, I stacked them all up.
I sewed that stacked flower onto the leaves and lastly added the metal chain.
And that's how I did it.
Bye, bye!
I wish you a happy weekend ahead!
WOW! Once again you have excelled yourself! So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marjan! That is so kind of you!
DeleteI love how you have layered them. My question is, how do you keep the base from becoming floppy when you wear it as the embellishments are on one side only.
ReplyDeleteWell, this one will not get floppy because the yarn I used is heavy itself so the flowers cannot weigh it down. Come to think of it, there were almost no necklaces I had to reinforce when piling up flowers obto them. But if needed I add a felt piece at the back. I always do that for my brooches, though...
DeleteShould have written "the yarn of the bib/ foundation"..
DeleteSuch a lovely combination, Maya!
ReplyDeleteI love to see these little bits of your creative process. This necklace turned out beautiful!
