Glittering in Green

When asked to join the Hobbii Sparkle Season challenge, I could not resist! You know how I feel about sparkles ;)

I chose a stunning new yarn that I have never worked with before called “Flash It.” It is made of viscos and has metallic threads woven in giving it so much glitter!!

I wanted to create a dress that emulates the flapper girl style of the 1920s. I have always been fascinated by the geometry of the art deco era and wanted to see if I could create something similar with crochet. I had never made a dress with this style of construction before and though it took a few tries and lots of unraveling, I must say I am thrilled with the result.

I found some large iridescent beads and went to town with the beading! I tried some new beading techniques and made drapes with beads over the fabric to give it a layered look and create some movement in the design.

I will not be releasing a pattern for this dress however, I am offering subscriptions on Instagram and will be explaining the full process of design to my subscribers. I am so thrilled to be offering more in-depth explanations of my one-of-a-kind designs for those who want a closer look at my creative process.
