Beyond Obsession Freeform Crocheted Bracelet

Description

It started with a box of vintage lace I found (and purchased) at the Quartz Mountain Wild Flower Festival...it was an exciting find! My mind immediately left the room and surroundings and concocted many things to make from this lace. Thinking of patterns, stitches, colors etc...

This bracelet is the result. It's my own pattern and the only bracelet of its kind.

It's super fluffy...with rows and rows of cut old lace. Rather hard to describe but here goes: First I crocheted the bracelet making my pattern up as I went. I made open stitches so I could have room to tie the lace with mostly lots of double crocheting, picking up just the back stitch to give it a different look. Then I starched it. I cut strips and strips of the lovely vintage lace. I've used 7 different types of vintage lace. Then I tied them individually, yes I am nuts. These steps took billions of hours (maybe a slight exaggeration). Then I added three vintage buttons. And days later...whaa laa...finished! I love using very old and very new together, it makes me happy.

This bracelet is nearly 2 inches wide (or approx. 5 1/2 cm). And approx 7 1/4 inches long. (or approx. 18 cm) This will fit wrist sizes approx.5 1/2 to 7 1/4 inches. It has a bit of stretch to it.
Made from ercu/cream cotton crochet thread.

The colors of this aged lace are amazing...very light salmon, light coffee, cream and the palest of pinks.
Handle with care.

I have a photo here of the underside of the bracelet so you can see the construction.

Thanks for looking/shopping. Please if you have any questions feel free to send me a note. I am very convo. friendly.
