A few days ago I made this pair cute "all ways pink" earrings, while I was waiting the time of my husband's arrival from Afghanistan, where he works. After tree and a half mounts I'll see him again and I was very nervous. And, that's my curs, when I am nervous I must work something... He is here for 15 days more, so see you after, when my nervous will transform in other lovely stuffs, when he'll back there...

Variations on theme - Black and white world

Another octopus pair... The difference is in the circle and length. Those are lengthier and ideal for short hair...

Octopus

I've never taught that any of my earrings would be called "Octopus". :)))))))
But, today when my brother saw them, he sad : an Octopus!
At first it seemed funny to me, but later while I was preparing the pictures I saw them like an Octopus... So, let it be!

They are made from crochet part, with plastic-metal elements.

3 layered crochet flowers - Tutorial

For a long time I've tried to find appropriate pattern for 3-layered crochet flowers. I know the pattern for Irish rose, but I don't like the hole between the petals and base made by the other color yarn, when the petals are created.
So, I did this pattern from "mind" and it's close on that what I'm looking for... Here it is:
First, I worked with 100% cotton yarn from St. George, Serbia and 3 mm hook. I used those stitches in US terms:

SL ST: insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch, then through the loop on your hook.

SC: insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch (two loops on hook), yarn over and pull through both loops on hook.

HDC: yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch (three loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all three loops on hook.

DC: yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch (three loops on hook), yarn over and pull through two loops on hook (two loops left on hook), yarn over and pull through remaining two loops.

TC: yarn over, yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop through the stitch (four loops on hook), yarn over and pull through two loops on hook ( three loops left on hook), yarn over and pull throw two loops on hook ( two loops left on hook), yarn over and pull throw last two loops on hook.

Start with magic ring and make 12 DC in it. Join the last DC with first DC with SL ST. The ring is closed and the base is made:If you want you can change the color or continue with the same, so the second layered petals will be in the same color like the base. I'll continue with the same color. Now, we are making the second layered petals.
*Make 4 chains, skip the next st and join in the next st with SC* repeat 5 more times. The last ch join with SL ST with first made ch:


Now, we are working the petals in every chain-4 space ( there should be 6 chain-4 spaces) in this order: SC,HDC,DC,DC,TRC,DC,DC,HDC,SC
You should have a flower like this:
Now, we are working the first layered petals in the skipped chains. Insert the yarn in second color:and work the next stiches: SC,HDC,DC,DC,HDC,SC
The last SC join with first SC with SL ST and fasten off.
Now it's time for the last third layer petals. Insert the hook throw the one of the pillar from the second layer petals. See the picture below:

Now, pull the yarn in third or fourth color

Make 5 ch and join with SC on the next pillar. Repeat 5 more times.
You should have like this:
Now work in every ch-5 space in this order:SC,HDC,DC,TRC,TRC,TRC,TRC,DC,HDC,SC

The last SC join with first made SC with SL ST.
And, the flower is ready:
And there are more flowers:
I hope you'll enjoy making those cute flowers!

Gipsy earrings

I named them Gypsy... They remind me on Esmeralda. The black color is her sad soul and the metal coins are the Gypsy freedom. My memories came back...

I used to read on that green couch, contracted to the wall with the front couch side picked up... Thus hidden I used to read for an hours...
Those earring are just like Esmeralda, beauty, but sad...

Autumn inspitarion

Finally I weak up from my long summer dream. The summer takes my energy and I don't have enough energy not just for my ideas, but neither from reading or writing. I made those two couples yesterday and the second one finished like a present for my friend.
"Temna noc" i "Stylish brown" I named them.
Thanks to my energy and inspiration I came back to faculty and I'm ready for Byzant painting. What a joy!

Biserni polumesecinki

On English the title will be something like ''pearl's half moon''. It's too late and I'm very tired, so I can't change the name which is more appropriate for morning waffles, although for those earrings. But, no matter.
Today for the first time I tried the technic of crocheting pearls and for the first time I think is good enough. Specially I love the mixture of pearls and metal. I like rude combinations. However, we live in 21st century, when everything is permitted!
