Crocheted Earrings!!!




Extra large red and black earrings

  Good evening,

As I sit and crochet I can become impatient when it takes a while to finish a project.  Therefore, I have now started making accessories that don't take as much time and are very fun!!!!  I had been toying with the idea of making some earrings for a while, but every time I tried, I couldn't get my gauge correct.  One earring would turn out larger or smaller than the first one the I made.  I was on etsy one day and saw someone that made some earrings and they used the hoops and crocheted into them.  I was a little hesitant at first, but after I made my first pair I was hooked!!! I am thinking about spicing them up a little by adding more things but it's still in the making!!!

Check out some of my latest earrings and I am also working on other accessories as well.


Stay creative,
Charmel

Hello,

I recently joined Etsy, an online community for crafters.  For you all that are unfamiliar with Etsy, you can create an account to sell your handmade items.  My friends have been telling me for over a year to set up a shop and finally did.  Well, as I was browsing through the other shops, I realized that I needed some professional pictures on my site.  I was trying to decide where I was going to find a photographer and DING, a light bulb went off.   One of my childhood friends that lives in D.C., told me that she recently started a photography business.  So, I sent her a text and asked if I could send her some items to use as props in exchange for me using the pictures on my site and she agreed.  Who would have known that bartering still exist in the world today!!! I took some pics of the items that I made for her and am going to share them with you.  All of these items were made for baby photos and I hope that you all enjoy them!!!


My etsy shop address is: www.etsy.com/shop/mclester78


Stay creative,
