Hearts And Flowers Papercut

I made this Papercut design with the hope of translating it into a more lasting durable art form such as quilt, hooked rug or stencil.  I just now thought of translating it into crochet.  So far, so good.  The challenge is, how  can  I duplicate closely the desing into crochet. 

I'm always fascinated with papercut designs but I want the design that I created to be in another media other than paper.   The photos below show my papercut and my crochet (still in progress).

Beaded Crochet Suncatchers

Let's catch the Sunshine with our hooks and yarn and crochet some Suncatchers.  We can embelish it with the use of any materials such as beads, fabrics, natural or synthetic fibers, etc.

Here are  photos of  my first Suncatchers:

 

Front or right side of the sun catcher

 

Back or wrong side of the suncatcher

 

I need to add a pink suncatcher to the other side to make the arrangement look more balanced.

 

This arrangement look so much better!!!

Thread Crochet Shawl #1

 

Photos of the finished "Thread Crochet" shawl.

It had been in a UFO status for 2 years.  I finally finished it today.  Please read my post titled, "Thread Crochet",  for more info about this project.  It took approximately 13 balls, 120 yds each to make this shawl.  It is made for small size with the width of the shawl covering from neck to waistline.  One important note about this project for future reference is: To attach new ball of yarn at the edge of the project, leaving enough tails to hide under the finishing round (around the edge of the shawl).  This way all the joined ends are securely hidden underneath single crochet stitches and there is no chance of the connecting knots to be undone during use and/or maintenance.
