These three necklaces are really pretty – works of art. I see such crocheted items all the time. I’m wondering if anyone would actually wear them? I have no neck – none – so they wouldn’t suit me at all. But, would YOU wear one of them or purchase (or make) one for someone you know would wear it?
First one – nope. Sorry, but to me it looks as if the yarn and button baskets threw up.
Second one – wouldn’t wear it now but maybe 30 years ago when I was 20. My daughter might wear it.
Third one – same as the second one.
No, I would not wear them and I am pretty sure that anyone I would make them for would not, either. But then most runway styles, I would not wear. Guess I have a label on my forehead, “old’fashioned”.
Funny, I have been mulling over the idea of making such a necklace for the past couple of days. I want to create a variety of red and purple flowers and put them on a bib necklace to wear to my Red Hat Society functions. I’m just trying to decide how close to my neck I want to go, whether metallic threads would be too uncomfortable, and how deeply dimensional I want it to be.
Ummm…no. Those are too overwhelming for pale pudgy me.
I’d wear the red one although I might be more likely to wear it in black or blue. I’ve been working on trying to make something like it actually although in a slightly less overwhelming design.
I have never been a fan of large necklaces – in any medium.
I would wear the last one over a crewneck top in beige or soft rose, so that the necklace looked like a yoke. The other two? Maybe if I was still twenty, under a flowing pirate shirt with pencil jeans and high-heeled boots.
I kinda like the 3rd one, but am thinking more in terms of sewing those little medalians on the neck of a tee, maybe.
I may wear the red one once with a black dress.
That is about it though. The first one was just too confusing for me
Sorry but I hate the 1st one. If I had a smaller and longer neck I would definitely wear either of the the others, they are beautiful.
