Crocheted Purse and a WIP
Posted by Leah on Jun 29, 2007
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:

Very pretty! I love the red.
Thank you for the Make It From Scratch Entry!
Great job on the crocheted bag! See how much fun crocheting is. I hope we have you hooked!!
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!
Really looks good
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.
beautiful piece. what to you use to make the resin so shinny?…I have worked with resin before, and I always end up struggling to make it look shiny..
