Here’s another one to add to the ever growing list of Things I Would Like to Make Myself and Never Will (which is now a tag for me to track such things on this blog). Crocheted rings, bangles, and *drool* a choker. $90, $85, and $350, respectively. The balls are created using a plastic ball form, but the bangles and choker have a felted cord as the base, which is then wrapped in crocheted bands. If I could get my act together and learn how to knit and crochet, this would be my first project.
Sunday is supposed to be Craft n’ Drink day with my friends at the Bye n’ Bye, but yesterday we were all too hung over from a naked lady party the night before. (Win: Liz’s dresses. Fail: Sequined black and white shirt with petal sleeves. BTW, follow that Liz link to see Amy in my apartment and me with much, much shorter hair).
These are available at Kjoo on Etsy, and created by Maria Riberiro, who is apparently Portugese and sweet to boot. Read this interview on Resurrection Fern where Maria explains learning to felt from a Martha Stewart tutorial, so maybe there’s hope for me, after all!
