Always Bride: Crochet Wedding Hand Bouquet

Masih ingat dengan Always Bride, buket bunga rajut dengan tampilan klasik warna merah tua? Sepekan kemarin, saya mengisi hari-hari saya dengan project ini (lagi). Pada project kali ini, pilihan saya jatuh pada warna marun tua, dusty pink, krem dan putih tulang. Untuk menambah aksen, saya beri beberapa bunga krisan untuk menutup sela-sela bunga.  Bunga krisan warna putih ini, awalnya dipilih untuk memberi kesan terang pada buket bunga, untuk menyeimbangkan padanan warna marun tua yang terlihat terlalu gelap. Saya menggunakan benang katun big ply untuk bunga krisan, karena memang hanya ini benang yang tersisa untuk warna itu, hehe... The power of kepepet ya :D Pun, jika diperhatikan, warna dusty pink ada yang digunakan untuk mawar dan juga krisan. Sepintas mungkin orang mengira benangnya sama, padahal tidak. Ceritanya, saat membuat bunga mawar, saya kehabisan warna dusty pink. Mau beli lagi kok ya masih ragu... karena niat awalnya, membuat buket bunga ini untuk meng

Crochet Pattern: Lily Flower

Initially, I saw a picture of crocheted calla lily on Pinterest. It was so pretty, charming with the elegant white. Thereafter, I was eager to see the pictures of the real flowers. Then I opened google and typed "lily flower". I forgot to type "calla". And the search results was sooooo amazing! I found so many pictures of lily flowers and they are all pretty! One of them made me fall in love. So, I tried to make the "crocheted version" of that lily --because I'm living somewhere in Indonesia and it's almost impossible get the real flower. After several trial-and-errors, I got a breathtaking result: crochet lily flower If you want to make the same project, you can buy the pattern on my Ravelry Store .   Thank you for dropping by to my blog, Have a nice day!

Cute Brooch Boutonniere for Gift or Keepsake

Hello all!  This time I want to share some pictures of my creations. It usually requested to be a gift. Everyone love gifts, right? Now let's see what I made. Anyway, who can refuse these small, cute gifts? When one of my friends is moving from Depok to Yogyakarta, she requested these brooches for her friends (not including me, I'm the maker. LOL) I named it  Ann Brooch . To be honest, I didn't have any idea to choose a name, so I abbreviated Nayfah's name.  Ann  stands for: Arini Nur Nayfah. It's made of bali cotton yarn (flowers) and beige polypropilene fiber, synthetic pearls, diamonds, and high quality pin-backing. Almost all process are fully handwork. I hand-crocheted the flowers and leaf. Then, 3 mm beads and mini diamonds hand-sewn to the center of the flowers (phew!). When I posted on my Facebook Page, some people say it's over pricing. Wait -- OVER PRICING? I don't think so. Come on, people... IDR 39.000 is similar to USD
