Neck Lace

I have fallen in love with the idea of crocheted applications as jewellery. Such condensed richness of pattern! What precision of execution! So intricate, so delicate, so fragile. Feminine, but with a kinky edge. A cross between my great-grandma's crocheted collar mom would put on my Sunday dresses and... an arabesque tattoo.
Each one is so unique... I want them all!








...and a sample of earrings:
