But when I saw some crocheted metal necklaces by Arielle de Pinto at Reborn in Old Montreal, I was intrigued...
Could I make something similar? I wondered...
The short answer is: NO!
I tried... but crocheting a metal chain into a tight row is harder than it looks!
But in my search for delicate chain (suitable for crocheting) in local beading stores, I came across the art of crocheting beaded necklaces using fine wire... so I signed up for a class...
It was a lot of fun learning how to take a bag of beads and a spool of wire...
... string the beads onto the wire and crochet it into...
... this!
I'm not really a necklace person, but I think I'll wear this one - it's fun!
(And of course - I bought a second bag of beads so that I can try another one at home... This is how crafting passion begins!)
