. . . is a series of
colour swaps I’m participating. For this black swap I crocheted a black fig leaf
from the book 100 Flowers to Knit and Crochet by Lesley Stanfield.
I appliquéd it
to a piece of fabric and decorated it with beads. It was hard to photograph!
And this is the pretty
mandala ATC I received for this swap. It’s made for me by Marion from Australia.
I enjoy these series,
there will be 2 more swaps in gold and silver.
Although black is always hard to capture by the camera we can see in great detail the beautiful crochet and beads.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe photo is just too light, it was too difficult to get the colour of the different materials right. I think I made almost 30 photos at different places!
Verwijderenyour leaf looks so pretty and has photographed well all the detail can be seen even though it is black
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe leaf was a challenge to crochet, I wasn't sure it would look right in black.
VerwijderenLOVE your leaf and makes a very stylish ATC
