Tom came back to me today with a new piece of sea-weathered pottery for my collection. I have 2 handfuls now...aren't they beautiful?
And those bright threads I blogged about recently haven't done much - I'm making a teeny tiny flower chain to wear as a necklace. Some look more like flowers than others - they need a bit of moulding!
They're each roughly the size of my pinky finger nail.
Chain 12
Sl st into 6th chain to make circle
2 double crochet
Slip stitch into centre
Flip tail over and repeat 5 times on the other side of the tail
Chain 12...repeat...
I have about 15 flowers now...unfortunately I think I need about 40!!
This is so cute. You could use them for all sorts of things as an edging as well as jewellery etc. Love the weathered pottery too. Need a lovely old bowl to display them in. Wish I could visit the beach for a beach combing session. It's ages since I've done that. x
ReplyDeleteJewellery could be cool for the pottery too? One of the heavily painted ones on a ring...come to cumbria and all the little beaches there are good for beach combing! I bet in this rainy windy weather there'd be loads! Although maybe not the most pleasant day out haha x
DeleteThat necklace will be awesome :) Keep at it! Also, the pottery is so cool!

Thanks!! I need lots of patience lol - and I'll keep collecting too. May take a decade or two but imagine how cool a mosaic would be!
