Project: For Katherine...Finished!

   

Just finished Katherine's necklace last Monday and I really enjoyed working on this project. It's the design idea from the customer to create a necklace that can be worn vertically and horizontally! I think I'll be starting on some similar projects...just love the versatility!

Just had some problems with my courier who quoted me exorbitantly! Good thing my good friend Grace suggested an alternative! So I'll be shipping this off to Guam by tomorrow :)

Project: For Enan

This project is long overdue!

My sister's wedding gown designer who became our friend, Enan Almando, was one of the first people who complimented my creations and i promised that I would be creating a fabulous necklace for her. It's been crazy these past few months and it's only at the beginning of this year that I was able to start on Enan's necklace.

Knowing that her favorite color is white, I decided to make a necklace in varying shades from white to dark grey.

Project: For Katherine

with my very good friend Mary Grace

Through the kindness of my soul sister Mary Grace Valiente, some of the pictures of my works have reached the shores of Guam!

Got my first order yesterday from Grace's friend, Ms. Katherine Moore and she really liked my two previous projects: the Maira 2 and the Dreamcatcher...

Dreamcatcher

Katherine wanted a black necklace that could be worn horizontally and vertically which was a great idea for me! So I sent her a working draft to show how the necklace could be worn:

horizontally worn

vertically worn

And she loved it! I'm so excited with this project that I'll probably finish it in a week :)

Practicing Broomstick Lace Crochet

Was fascinated with the vintage crochet pattern of broomstick lace when I found it while web surfing that I immediately started projects using this pattern.


Also known as Jiffy Lace, it requires the use of a cylindrical object, referred to as a "pin" to make the loops and in olden times crocheters used broomsticks in making this pattern.Marti and I roamed most of the malls during the holidays looking for the 50" knitting needle that was used in this pattern I found by Crochet Cabana but couldn't find any. Out of desperation, I rummaged our home for the perfect pin and found some glue sticks that did the job!

My first try...used a glue stick as a pin :)

Well the glue stick only worked for several rows when I noticed that the yarn fibers were starting to stick so I had to find another pin which came in the form of a marker pen!

Using a marker pen as a pin the loops are more pronounced

Almost finished with the first bracelet so I'll post the pictures soon.
