Flowers revamped
You probably know the 5 and 6 petaled flowers. I took the pattern for a spin. Nothing too fancy or anything, of course, but hey, it's summer!

Buncha rings
I am having waaaay to much fun with this pattern. I Used the 5 and 6 petaled flower pattern. And yes, I cut back on the flowers, this is a smaller ring than in the pattern.

still alive and kicking
Yeah yeah, I have been away for too long. I'll update my blog in a while, but first, I owe someone some pictures.
So here is my newest bracelet in making, because it still could use a few more strands. ^^
So... as some of my previous bracelets, this one was made with a few "strappy-srips" invented by Gwen Fisher and probably another few nameless people in the world and some other stuff.
Without further ado, my pictures:
(And yes, I am perfectly aware i missed out on a waxing session there, I'm gonna go and make up for it once I'll feel like braving the snow and ice outside.)

Crochet corner
Yesterday I stumbled upon a crocheted bracelet. A few days ago I saw a similar Victorian lace pattern, so I decided why the hell not, I'll make my own.
Sadly, yarns are seriously expensive these days, and the second hand shop where I buy my yarns has been out of yarns since before Christmas. They said I'll have to wait 2 more weeks and then they might have a new shipment.
And yes, I prefer second hand yarns. I buy unused yarn, there are some their original protective wrappings, and there are the leftovers, clearly unused, just not a full ball of yarn. I don't mind these. After all here 50g of yarn (100% wool) costs 15 HUF, while in any yarn shop it costs 590-790 HUF, depending on colour. Can you blame me? I mean buying yarn for a hat you wanna make costs twice as much as a hat you buy in a random shop! This is insane.
Anyway, I sadly have little ecru coloured yarn, so I used my leftover ball of macramé thread. It was a bit bulky and thick, but the overall look of the bracelet is pretty neat, so who cares?
The bracelet is completed with some leftover silk ribbon I had in my bag of ribbons and a button I've had laying around.
Pretty neat, huh?

Pictures of the nightmares, without flash
Yup, flash decidedly killed the colours. These are the same bracelets. Enjoy.

The improved strippy strappy nightmare
New bracelets, because I love them. Well, only one of them is new, the teal-green one is only improved. Let's just say I had fun with it and...
I might as well have given Chewbakka to wear it for the photo. >< Sometimes I seriously doubt my appeal.
PS: the flash killed the vibrant colours. :(
