Fabric and crochet necklaces

Gone those days when fashion was dictated by some strict rules, obedience to which meant a good taste. Today absolutely everything is fashionable!  But no more restrictions, all the periods of the history of fashion are mixed now. You can wear an elegant dress with romantic Victorian elements of the late XIX century, or the futuristic suit, pants from the '70s or the feminine floral dress of 50th or mix all this together...

The same goes for accessories and jewelry. Any material, size, style – you can find here glass and wood, precious stones and various metals,  textiles and leather, knitting and beadwork. The combination of different materials and techniques in jewelry makes them unique, for example these necklaces made from  crochet and fabric beads:

The combination of these different textures and matherials makes these necklaces unique and special. Everyone who will see them, always want to touch them. And it is not surprising, because they look so original!

Tutorial for these wonderful necklaces is here.

Necklace with crocheted and fabric beads in burgundy

I'm always experimenting with colors and textures, trying to create something new for you. I already wrote about Lavender Necklace with crochet and fabric balls. Today I present the second creation in this new line of my jewelry - Necklace with crocheted and fabric beads in burgundy. 
I used 100% cotton thread to create these burgundy-white melange crochet balls. To create fabric beads I used a beautiful burgundy shimmery organza fabric. I like to work with organza - It has so many shades especially in the sunlight. Photos can't show this beauty. Combination of these so different materials makes this necklace very unique. The final touch give small white glass beads.
Burgundy color will not let anyone pass you, he immediately attracted attention.  It will liven up your favorite t-shirt or blouse!
