The first try combined the ric-rac into the trim and hanger for the "Cool Christmas" design by Fresh Threads Studio from the JCS ornament preview magazine. This style seems similar to Monster Bubbles designs and I was expecting it to be one of theirs. I liked it because the color scheme is so unusual. I think it will make a perfect gift for someone in Florida.
Next I made this Day of the Dead design that really is by Monster Bubbles from the JCS Halloween issue. This time I used the ric-rac for the edging only. Then I added a couple of crochet motifs on the back. The crocheted skull pattern can be found here.
Great way to combine the two crafts. The crochet ric rac looks really good

ReplyDeleteWonderful finishes Annie! Combining the crochet and stitching is a neat idea.
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic Annie! Love how you used the ric-rac on each ornie.
ReplyDeleteI made a crocheted bag long ago and used it for the handles, as the pattern was on a magazine. Was afraid they might be too weak, but they have kept their shape through years and many laundry cycles. And they are sturdy enough to fill the bag with heavy stuff.
Love both your ornies :o)
Thanks for posting the links!
Those colors are really unusual for Christmas but they look so pretty! Good job ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend sweetie :D
Oh, so cute, so cute! I love, love, love that tree. Love it. The ric-rac is ADORABLE! I love your sugar skull, too, it's such a fun design.
