I know it isn’t jewelry, but I made this cute crocheted purse while following along with the learn to crochet lessons at Crafty Daisies. There was a link to a purse pattern in lesson #4, which I altered slightly, mostly by making it bigger and winging it on the ruffle part since I didn’t write it down (but ruffles are easy enough to crochet without a pattern).
And since this is supposed to be a jewelry blog, here’s a picture of my latest in-progress resin piece, using the top of an altoid tin as a bezel:

Thanks everyone – Janice, I’ll do the tag thing soon. Cindy, yes I am completely hooked. I think I prefer crochet to knitting. Stephanie – on my way over to see the new MIFS!

I’d have never guessed from the picture that the bezel was an altoids tin. Great recycling! There’s got to be some creative use for the darned things cuz they are all over.
