6 strands of Turquoise and Pearls

Bigger Photo

About this design:

I did 6 chains of beads crocheted with a simple chain stitch and braided them all together. I created the 'button & loop' clasp with a cabachon and wire spiral.

Components:

Turquoise chips, pearls and silver circles

I never knew that about you Anita – you really do have to share some of your designs!!

Dragon Stars – this is another beautiful crocheted design! It sounds like you taught yourself? or did you take a class?
I crochet with yarn, but am afraid to take the plunge with wire.

Stunning! I never learned how to crochet and it’s something I’ll probably never learn to do. But this makes me wish I had!!! I love it!

Gem Chick – One of my neighbor’s taught me when I was a little girl. You should take the plunge with wire. I would suggest using the craft wire and a K hook to learn on.
