Aigner's :

crochet beaded necklace

This took lots of patience and hardwork. Every crochet bead needs enough stuffing to make it stay in shape. Too little you'll get flat or out- of- shaped ugly beads. Too much you'll simply torturing yourself. I researched online and found that most people will insert in a round bead instead. Meaning they will do the crochet layer around the bead, following its curves. But I find that probably takes more time than stuffing in sponge! So I didn't bother doing that way. There were similar necklaces sold in a tiny shop in melbourne. Oh I can never forget that shop, near bourke street if I didn't remember wrongly. That was one of the best accessories shop I've ever been to, all directly imported from korea by the owner. Aigner loves the one with crochet beads so I gave her this surprise for her birthday. The beads can be moved and I made lace for her to tie a knot when she's putting it on. And so, she can decide her style for the day. Nice, I also love to make one for myself but thinking of the chore I need to face again, I need to reconsider...

Crochet & knitting was one of the tacit knowledge passed down from my mom and I am still on a journey to create new things and incorporate other handicraft techiniques in my work. Family, friends, music, Cable TV, baking, cooking, photography and my teddy bear are the inspiration for me to pursue the ideal in continuing my journey. And as you can see these are my favourite things.
