Orchids necklaces

" MY UNIQUENESS IS MY EFFECTIVENESS "

I recently found this statement, when I was looking for orchid's symbolism and I was surprised to find out that orchids are flowers of Aquarius sign, which is my sign.....by the way ;)
That's why, I dedicated this post and my orchid creations to all Aquarius friends, whom their spirit is always exuberant and nonconformist.
Mid-winter, missing the spring and the only color that caught my attention were orchids from my window. Because they are the only flowers that bloom every winter in my house, I realised that I don't have these beautifull flowers in my " crochet garden "
So, here there are :
Graceful and almost artistic, orchid flowers represents love, beauty, loyalty and power. 
They are part of the largest plant family in the world and they cand vary in size and colors, as my crochet orchids.
Wild orchids can be found in the highest mountains, but also in the plains at the sea level.
Now, the wild orchid grown up in my collection and it's pink as it seems that is the favourite orchids of Aquarius sign.

WILD ORCHID

The set contains a necklace, bracelet and assorted earrings. They are made from a special gradient microfiber thread, in beautifull color tones of light green, pink and purple. Also, I've attached long tassels, because they are so chic and fashionable. The cord of the necklace could be twisted or simple straight, as you'll see in my photos listing from my etsy store.  

As I said before, on my window there are some orchids, but I have only a few colors ( white, yellow, pink and purple ); I would love to have a larger space and collect many more; until then, I have "collected" beautifull crochet orchids that can be worn as necklaces or brooches, if you'll I attach a safety pin....it's so simple and easier to have 2 in 1 accesories.
I've selected 7 colors which I have seemed most representative for orchids.

ORCHIDS 2in1

White, it looks so innocence, beauty and elegance.
Pink, again pink, I couldn't set at one model so I've made to different pink orchids, that represents joy and happiness 
The yellow one stands for friendship and new beginnings
Lavender orchid symbolizes grace and feminine beauty
The purple one as the color of royalty.
And the orange orchid which is full of pride and boldness

I couldn't finish my collection without a babywearing necklace. With bright and vibrant colors of pink and green and tiny orchids, this necklace will be a lovely accesory for breastfeeding moms....but not only

Good thoughts, new projects, old projects

Soon I''ll celebrate a year since I've shared my creations on this blog; I hope you enjoyed and I'll invite you further to watch my posts, because I have a looooot of stories to say ;)
Until then, I will tell you the story of crocheted accessories, fluffy and warm, perfect for the cold winter days; some time ago, looking for materials for my new projects, I discovered the natural wool, or roving wool and I was so charmed by the many colors and gradients I've found that I've got everything I found.
Once the yarn got home, I began to looking for what to do, thick and abundant, soft and fluffy, bright colors .... initially I thought to have a coat, but because I didn't know the material so well, I gave up. After a long network research and because winter was coming, I decided to realize a set of circular scarf and matching mittens, a brilliant idea for the outside grey. And so, here are the sets "Fantasy", and of course I kept for myself the most colorful .... the orange one;), which I wear it daily merry.

For more pictures and other details, please visit my FB page, in the Ready for winter album; I hope you like them and they will inspire you.

I would have like to enrich the colour palette this year, unfortunately it was no way to find something to inspire me. Instead of this, I came up with a new proposal, the same material, which is found in a large variety of colors .....lucky me;) .... a set of crocheted scarf and mittens, uni-color this time, but with small tones of color......... the SPINY set.

These three proposals were meant for a dear Buticul's friend, if you like them, I can make similar models, you only need to choose the colour; for more detailed photos and other information please visit my store on ETSY website.

Thank you for stopping by and don't forget..............keep calm and love handmade!!!
