<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, the ClockQuirks blog has been off the grid for a while, but we're back! A lot has been happening and we want to share some of the exciting things going on behind the scenes that will have a big impact on the look and content of our shop in future. Here's what we're up to:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">New (sort of) Faces</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Jason, son to Bonnie and brother to Ellie, has come aboard in a more fully integrated capacity. While Jason has always helped out with the web design and site upkeep, he's getting more involved than ever to get things running smoothly as well as bringing a lot of new creative ideas to the table. Which brings us to...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">New Website</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We are working on launching a brand new website at our newly acquired cyber premises,<a href="http://www.clockquirks.biz/" target="_blank"> clockquirks.biz</a>. Our virtual shop window will have a fresh look, friendlier navigation and an onsite shopping feature that will allow you to purchase straight from us, no Etsy needed. We are still maintaining an Etsy shop, however, so with all of this available "shelf" space, we're going to need...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">New Products</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The creative ideas are flying around here. Jason and Grady are working on crafting some new geekery (can you say originally designed lightsabers and wands, anyone?) while Bonnie is adding custom costumes to her repertoire (like a commissioned recreation of Princess Anna's traveling dress from <i>Frozen</i>; a photo shoot is forthcoming!). Ellie is designing some new steampunky fingerless gloves and re-imagining some popular designs, like our Doctor Who-inspired pearl choker. Bohemian brides can expect to find some lovely things to make their special day fit their personal style as well. But these items aren't limited to our internet shops. We also want to have...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">New Festival and Convention Appearances</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We would really like to crank up the number of "personal appearances" we make this year, so we're looking at festivals and craft fairs throughout the spring and summer as well as the fall. We have this crazy dream of having a booth at DragonCon this year, which would be incredible. Kind of like the mother ship calling us home!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So that's what's new with us, ClockQuirkians. If you have any suggestions for craft fairs in the metro Atlanta area or ideas for costumes or other creations that you would like to see us realize, please comment! We LOVE a challenge. </span>ClockQuirkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10015482811294014290noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702343120465583541.post-21881852910940493662013-02-22T11:00:00.000-05:002015-02-19T02:31:45.428-05:00Daisy Head MayzeyDr. Seuss' birthday is March 2nd and last year my kids and I went to a party for him. We had lots of fun, not the least of which involved making our own costumes. I decided to go as Daisy Head Mayzey, so I made a head piece to give me that flower-sprouting-out-of-my-hair look. Tell yourself how lucky you are, because I'm going to tell you how I did it! This is a seriously easy project that I did in about 20 minutes the morning of the party. If I can do it, so can you!<br />
<br />
<u><b>Materials</b></u><br />
2 pieces of white copy paper<br />
1 piece of yellow construction paper<br />
3 green pipe cleaners<br />
Scotch tape<br />
Pencil <br />
Ruler<br />
Scissors <br />
Bowl or small plate to trace the circumference of your daisy<br />
Drinking Glass to trace the circumference of your flower's center<br />
Bobby pins and a hair elastic to attach the flower in your hair.<br />
Optional: Fabric headband to pin the flower to if your hair is too short to pull back. <br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Instructions</b></u><br />
1. With both pieces of white paper stacked together, trace around the bowl or small plate and cut the circle out of <b>both thicknesses</b> of paper. Tape the 2 circles together in the center.<br />
2. On the yellow paper, trace around the glass. Cut out the circle.<br />
3. Center the yellow circle on the white circle and trace lightly around it. Set the yellow circle aside. <br />
4. Use the ruler to draw lines criss-crossing through the center of the white circle. These will be your petals.<br />
5. Take the 2 white circles still stacked together and cut along the lines, stopping at the edge of the inner circle. You may choose to round out the ends of the petals.<br />
6. Tape the yellow circle to the center.<br />
7. Holding the 3 green pipe cleaners together, begin twisting the pipe cleaners. To make leaves on the stem, make a loop in one of the pipe cleaners and twist it once or twice. Continue to twist the 3 pipe cleaners together. After a few more twists, make a leaf in another pipe cleaner. Twist them together again and then make a leaf in the 3rd pipe cleaner. Once you've twisted them down to the end, make a loop at each end of the stem and fold it up to a 90 degree angle.<br />
8. Taping across one loop, attach the stem to the back of the flower.<br />
<br />
Your flower is constructed!! Let's get it ready to wear.<br />
<br />
1. Coil the stem around a lipstick tube or 2 fingers to make it into a spring. This will make the flower more stable and allow it to bounce. Originally I used a pencil, but I found that a slightly fatter spring worked better.<br />
2. Ruffle the petals of your flower by gently bending each of the top layer of petals, one up, the next one down, etc. You don't need to do a hard crease, just a little pull. For the bottom layer, I bent every other one down and left the rest alone.<br />
3. Bobby pin the flower into your hair. I found it stayed put very well when I pulled back the top of my hair with the hair elastic, slid the loop in the end of the stem up under the hair in the center, and then bobby pinned across the loop. If you have short hair, you could also wear a fabric headband (something with strong elastic, not too stretchy) and bobby pin the flower to that. You could also hot glue the flower to a plastic headband.<br />
<br />
You're ready for your Dr. Seuss extravaganza!<br />

I proceeded to make a couple dozen more, trying out different color combinations, sizes and wire wrapping techniques. For your edification, ClockQuirkians, here are my favorites:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="254" src="http://img0.etsystatic.com/009/0/6272711/il_170x135.418837744_em3l.jpg" width="320" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img3.etsystatic.com/014/1/6272711/il_170x135.418840843_jfjn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="253" src="http://img3.etsystatic.com/014/1/6272711/il_170x135.418840843_jfjn.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
This is the simplest design, but I love the colors. I tried a lot of different pairings, all of which I like, but these two got extra big smiles.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img3.etsystatic.com/014/0/6272711/il_570xN.418841931_duqc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="317" src="http://img3.etsystatic.com/014/0/6272711/il_570xN.418841931_duqc.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I love spirals in wire work, so I had to come up with a way to use it in my button rings. Love how it turned out!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img1.etsystatic.com/015/0/6272711/il_570xN.418840253_ldkb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="317" src="http://img1.etsystatic.com/015/0/6272711/il_570xN.418840253_ldkb.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
More spirals, but a different kind this time. Coils are such an aesthetic design detail and so much fun to make!<br /><br />
<br />We have a large selection of button rings available in our <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TweelyByClockQuirks" target="_blank">Tweely</a> shop.ClockQuirkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10015482811294014290noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702343120465583541.post-20484094267720623772013-01-15T14:01:00.000-05:002013-01-15T14:01:25.173-05:00Sock Monkey in the MiddleBonnie (Mom to me) has proven that my status as Maitresse de Crochet is an inherited title! She has created the cutest animal hats, and she did it with her crochet hook! They were originally made as baby gifts for several friends who have brand new little ones, but they were just too cute to keep to herself. Now you can find them in the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TweelyByClockQuirks" target="_blank">Tweely</a> shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TweelyByClockQuirks?section_id=10583747" target="_blank">here</a>. Too cute!!<br />
<br />

You'll notice in our shop that sock monkeys are kind of a thing for us. When Bonnie needed a baby gift, she decided to try making a hat and what better inspiration than our buddy the sock monkey?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We have a special soft spot for pink sock monkeys because we give a portion of the proceeds to breast cancer research. They were the inspiration for this pink monkey hat made for a little baby girl.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img2.etsystatic.com/012/1/6272711/il_570xN.413837190_50gy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://img2.etsystatic.com/012/1/6272711/il_570xN.413837190_50gy.jpg" width="149" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The monkeys came out so great that a bear seemed the obvious next step. This adorable teddy hat is as cozy as it is cute!<br />
<br />

It's raining here at ClockQuirks headquarters, and though I don't necessarily like slogging around in it outside, rain makes for great inspiration from indoors. Here are a few photos I found that have inspired me to design some new projects. Being a jewelry artist and a passionate lover of crystals, all my inspiration seemed to bend in that direction.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Crystal drops, anyone? I love the idea of deep blue and clear crystals. Maybe a crochet necklace?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

I can't decide what this makes me want to create yet, but I know it needs to be something. Again, the raindrops are crystals to me.<br />
<br />

This definitely a wirewrap something waiting to happen. Copper wire is my favorite but I believe silver is in order for this one.<br />

When I got older, I read the second book, "Through the Looking Glass", and discovered a whole new world of inspiration. Many artists have adapted it into their own mediums, and as I've learned and developed as a fiber artist it only seemed natural that I would translate this well-loved world into my medium as well. For Wednesday in the Works I will have some pictures of the project I have in process, but for today I just want to show you the book illustrations that have inspired me most.<br />
<br />

These illustrations have such wonderful detail, like the fact that the Looking Glass mantel clock has a face.<br />
<br />

<br />
While "Alice in Wonderland" features a playing card theme, "Through the Looking Glass" sets it's story in a giant chess game. I'm not a very good chess player but there is something tantalizing about a chess world, especially when the pieces have such distinct personalities.<br />

Ah, the Red Queen! Quite an enigmatic figure. You're never really sure where she stands or what she's up to.<br />

Alice hopes to cross the board and become a queen, but it might not be all it's cracked up to be...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you've never read this delightful story, I highly recommend it. I'm crafting some queenly accessories inspired by this book and I hope to come up with more drawn from other parts of the story. What could you do with a Jabberwock, I wonder...<br />

It's time for another Wednesday in the Works! I'm working on some really cool stuff and I want to share. Hopefully it will be inspiring to you!<br />
<br />
My new favorite stitch to crochet is the crocodile stitch. I love the intricacy of it (I never get bored working this stitch!) and the versatility. So far I've used it as dragon scales, mermaid scales and even feathers! It has inspired multiple projects. Three are finished and two are still in the works, making it the perfect topic for today's blog.<br />
<br />
<b>Meg's "Blood of the Dragon" Cuff</b><br />
<br />
My first real project with this stitch was actually a gift for my sister (in-law). We have both been reading J.R.R. Martin's <i>Song of Ice and Fire</i> series (aka, "Game of Thrones") and so, for her birthday, I crafted a dragony cuff fit for one who is "the blood of the dragon", as one prominent character is known to say. Unfortunately, I hadn't learned my lesson yet about taking pictures of my work, even when I wasn't going to sell it, so there's no photo evidence. I should get her to send me a pic!<br />
<br />

<br />
With visions of Westeros still dancing in my head, I decided to develop another idea I'd had. To me, the scales could also be feathers. I crocheted and unraveled and crocheted again to create this gauntlet, using the scales as raven feathers. In the GoT books, they use specially trained ravens to carry messages. As urgent messages tend to be bad news, this gave rise to the saying "Dark wings, dark words". It was the perfect title for my creation. This one has actually made it to our <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Exordium?ref=seller_info" target="_blank">Exordium</a> shop on Etsy <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/105218982/game-of-thrones-inspired-fingerless" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

<b>Swedish Short-Snout Necklace</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This necklace started out as an experiment. I wanted to see if I had correctly deduced the way to work the stitch in a triangle shape, increasing one scale in each row. It worked, and after doing a few rows I was suddenly inspired to make it into a necklace, using one of my favorite jewelry elements: bronze chain. I went looking through my stash for a clasp and found some pretty toggles shaped like leaves. The trouble was, they were too pretty. I said to Mom (Bonnie), "I love these clasps but it seems a shame to hide them on the back of your neck." Mom, being Mom, said candidly, "Well, put them in the front then!" I did and loved the result. The idea of dragon scales put me in my mind of Harry Potter, who fights a dragon in the fourth book. One of the varieties of dragon involved is the Swedish Short-snout, distinctive for it's silvery blue scales. Perfect!<br />

Sooner or later the scale
motif was bound to bring me around to something fishy, I suppose, but
being a romantic soul I chose the fantasy version (probably no surprise at this point). I have crocheted these two pieces, one for the cuff and one for the ruffle, but haven't joined them yet. I wanted the cuff to look like ocean waves and the ruffles to look like mermaid scales. Ta-da! Enter the crocodile stitch. At first I worried about how to join them, since one edge is smooth and the other is wavy. Suddenly it hit me, why not join the crests of the waves to the ruffle edge, leaving the troughs open? I even thought of adding pearls to the resulting "windows". I definitely like where that's headed.<b><br />

<b>Dragon Skin Shawl</b><br />
<br />
I can't claim credit for the idea of using the crocodile stitch to make a shawl, or even of calling it dragon skin, but I love it. I tried it out in a soft bulky weight yarn I had in my stash and I think we have a winner. I had intended to do it in a different color (I just finished a shawl and hat in a yarn of mottled greens and browns) but now that I see the purple, I may keep it. Dragons are fantasy creatures; who says they have to be green?<b></b><br />

Pretty soon there'll be a Wednesday in the Works with projects inspired by these images!

These ethereal, glowing leaves almost look like stained glass. Perhaps some beaded earrings in these colors?

I love this swirling vortex of fall leaves. It makes me want to paint a scrabble tile pendant in a similar way. Or perhaps something slightly bigger, like a domino.

I get inspiration from a lot of places, some of them from other artists, some from nature, some from books and movies I enjoy (occasionally even from books and movies I didn't particularly enjoy) and some just from random thoughts wandering through my head when I'm bored. Today I'm going to share how finding a fantastic focal piece inspired a collaborative work of art. <br />
<br />
<br />
It all started when Mom (Bonnie) found this really cool pendant of a kraken. Her sister, my aunt, was shopping with her and fell in love with it. So, being the artiste that she is, Mom told her she would use it to make a really cool necklace for her upcoming birthday. No problem, right? We're artists, after all. We have a creative business (I love being able to say that). We talked about it and had some really great ideas. So all we had to do is take those great ideas and whip up a beautiful, unique necklace for my fabulous aunt's birthday, right?<br />
<br />
It was slightly more complicated than that. <br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Cool, huh?</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
Let's start with the great ideas. I suggested that I crochet a mesh pattern to hang behind the pendant and bring in sort of a fishnet motif. Mom took it a step further and found these great flower toggles that could look like water plants and would gather the fishnet on either side.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEUanoGrDMam5ocTNDcytnrU3GqdnShI7dcjkYLVikdlQeEvREjrdLpAs0QLogQmiSOYltoOn7wUxnmIJSFmobJENw9WwJDAWsGKZd8mAmpFRYQX78Kt7tCLdVftdNe1MS9EObENbmv-M/s1600/photo(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEUanoGrDMam5ocTNDcytnrU3GqdnShI7dcjkYLVikdlQeEvREjrdLpAs0QLogQmiSOYltoOn7wUxnmIJSFmobJENw9WwJDAWsGKZd8mAmpFRYQX78Kt7tCLdVftdNe1MS9EObENbmv-M/s320/photo(2).JPG" width="239" /></a></div>
She also found a beautiful assortment of Swarovski crystals (my favorite kind) in oceany colors that coordinated perfectly with our focal piece. It seemed like we were off and running.<br />
<br />
The first problem came with getting the mesh right. I tried smaller squares, bigger squares, diagonal squares and straight squares. I just couldn't get it to quite look like what was in my head. The drape and gather were all wrong. I kept experimenting with that while Bonnie broached the next problem.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoOoTLtUixjbBsIWS4GcMF6-DcuFsYzCxY5C0e7xHcohBuE0z_NSBr1oJwLfe612FW9_eaZV-ylOSpGaAVpjjC0sHFK7u8FXGiyHe-z8G7oefeezQNY66YuflJZ4tGF2nNkX8nUtAJHxI/s1600/photo%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoOoTLtUixjbBsIWS4GcMF6-DcuFsYzCxY5C0e7xHcohBuE0z_NSBr1oJwLfe612FW9_eaZV-ylOSpGaAVpjjC0sHFK7u8FXGiyHe-z8G7oefeezQNY66YuflJZ4tGF2nNkX8nUtAJHxI/s200/photo%25282%2529.JPG" width="200" /></a>The kraken pendant was very heavy. We knew that we wanted the necklace to lay a certain way and the weight of our focal point made that problematic. We made the chain shorter and shorter and when that didn't work, we decided to try supporting it with wire. At first we tried threading the wire through the chain, but that seemed to create more problems than it solved. Finally we hit on running the wire through the net and only attaching the chain at the toggles. This worked much better.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I wove the beads into my fishnet first one way and then another way and while it was clear that the beads were going to look great, the fishnet just didn't. I consulted my favorite crochet book, on older volume on needlework, and found the Solomon's Knot mesh. I've used it before in a set of bellydance-type costume accessories, but I hadn't thought to use it here. It did just the trick. The drape was right, the beads were right, and the kraken pendant looked great. Voila!! Just in time for my aunt's birthday.<br />

Happy hooking, everyone!

On Thursdays the blog is invaded by Klondike, our resident advocate for young crafters. Here is a project he came up with himself for all you superhero fans.<br />
<br />
Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably noticed that Marvel's the Avengers is kind of a popular movie right now. We picked up our copy of the DVD+BluRay combo pack on Tuesday and have watched it twice already. Klondike is a HUGE fan of the movie and it's characters and while he has an Iron Man helmet and a Captain America shield, he doesn't have any of Hawkeye's awesome archery equipment. To remedy this, he pulled out his favorite craft supply, a pizza box lid, and started crafting. Here's what you'll need:<br />
<br />
<b>Materials:</b><br />
Yarn<br />
Pizza box lid or other cardboard (you could also use foam core board)<br />
Scissors<br />
Pencil<br />
Stuff to decorate it with, like markers or paint<br />
A grown up <br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Instructions:</b><br />
<br />
1.<b> </b>Sketch out the shape of your bow with the pencil. You'll need to make each end wide enough that you can cut a slit in it for the yarn. We found that sketching corner to corner gave us the most room. We also Googled images from the movie as a guide.<br />

2.With an adult's supervision, cut out the bow. We used our kitchen scissors because they're much sturdier than our "regular" scissors.</div>

3. Cut a slit at each end for the "bowstring" (yarn). Tie a loop at the end of the yarn and slip it over the end and down into the slit. Do the same at the other end, measuring your yarn carefully so that it will be taught when you're done without bending your bow (which is not the sturdiest).<br />

The opportunity was too good to pass up. After a few messages back and forth about price point and preferences (we agreed that something like this deserved Swarovski crystal pearls), I dove in, working on the design. Part of doing a project like this is translating the craft of the original (which I believe to be bobbin lace) to my craft (crochet, of course). To do that, I had to break down the different elements to capture the essence of the original. On looking closely at the necklace, I decided 3 things were absolutely necessary:</div>

1. The beads<br />
2. The scallops (which would be slightly openwork and which I gauged would need to be made in 3 tiers)<br />
3. The solid rows at the top to anchor it all<br />
<br />
The scallops, not surprisingly, were what required the most time from a design standpoint. I tried all kinds of patterns. The scale and the dimensions took some tinkering; a lot of what I tried was just too big, and most of them had scallops that were complete half circles. I realized that the drop pearls wouldn't have the necessary support if the scallop was too deep. Here are some of my attempts:<br />

The top attempt was both too big and too deeply scalloped. The bottom left was too deeply scalloped and there weren't enough rows in the scallops to do the swags of pearls between the drops properly. The one in the bottom right corner was so overcrowded that it practically wrapped around itself. It is fairly close to what I ended up doing, but it still wasn't quite right. Here's what I finally came up with:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Fu6KbXZ9aqqGO7QyflgPjECRmY8tej7yp56JTmjJ42gYSrj2fiS-BHCdrwSEItFpgEhuAM3Zdi71CYS4iF2OZfBckf51lFb_X-lHMsB3lSzbb_tYxtgOJZQCbtNWYwJ0C8htMb5J8WM/s1600/100_4781.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Fu6KbXZ9aqqGO7QyflgPjECRmY8tej7yp56JTmjJ42gYSrj2fiS-BHCdrwSEItFpgEhuAM3Zdi71CYS4iF2OZfBckf51lFb_X-lHMsB3lSzbb_tYxtgOJZQCbtNWYwJ0C8htMb5J8WM/s320/100_4781.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I knew I'd finally found the right combination and was ready to go into production. Once I knew what I was doing, the crochet part went quickly. Adding the pearls one section at a time took longer, but it was all worth it when I saw the finished result:<br />

Sadly, this is the only photo I took of the finished product. A word of advice to fellow artists: take good pictures of your work, no matter how late at night you finished! Those photos are your portfolio and once you've sent the piece out into the world, they're all you have to show for it! Luckily, I do take careful notes on my original patterns and I can recreate this necklace with relative ease. I'm already working on one in candlelight; I'll take plenty of pictures of that one!<br />
<br />
In an interesting example of, as Robert Frost would say, "how way leads on to way", one of my failed attempts led to an interesting side project. This swatch, from a vintage lace pattern, got me thinking:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1s2geH6KAYH9ZNvQ473dw6WrPCEZCfLjFz3An2GbUCEgJXfIXnamZst2g3K3cVcq-UHSPrVXgFvWBXrcos17dv6LwBHJNFqDug1E6qhHeoDFM2s8Pt628ch3484XfzydSaPO32FsfAnI/s1600/100_4775.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1s2geH6KAYH9ZNvQ473dw6WrPCEZCfLjFz3An2GbUCEgJXfIXnamZst2g3K3cVcq-UHSPrVXgFvWBXrcos17dv6LwBHJNFqDug1E6qhHeoDFM2s8Pt628ch3484XfzydSaPO32FsfAnI/s320/100_4775.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I soon turned the scallop part of the lace into a a complete flower:<br />

I have an as-yet unrealized intention of turning this concept into a bracelet (I've actually made one, but it still doesn't really look like the one in my head), but I think this one will end up being an applique or maybe even a statement necklace on chain (Bonnie's suggestion).<br />
<br />
Have you had any memorable projects that took some hammering out? Any design that led to a completely separate project or to a fun variation? Leave us a comment! Pictures are always welcome.<br />

P.S. On Friday, mon amis, I will post the pattern for these little flowers so that you fellow crocheters can try them out yourself. Happy hooking! ~E.S.<br />

It's Wednesday (for a little while longer), and that means In the Works Day here on the blog. This week I'm going to give you a peek into Bonnie's workroom at what she's working on. She and I have been talking about upcycling pairs of jeans into bags and purses and other cool stuff. She's visiting her sister (my really awesome aunt) this week but, being a ClockQuirkian, she brought some work* with her and it paid off. She produced this adorable little bag:</div>

It doesn't have a lining yet and we're talking about the right length for the strap, but to put it lightly, I absolutely LOVE it. One of the hardest things about making stuff to sell is that you want to keep everything. I'm definitely going to need all my will power to let this one go. So cute!<br />
<br />
Just in general, Bonnie is on an upcycling roll, getting really excited about making stuff into other stuff. Do you like to upcycle materials and make them new again? Do you have a favorite project? Comment to let us know! We would love to see pictures of your creations.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">*I use "work" in the sense that it is productive and fruitful and requires effort. However, our "work" feels more like play. J.M. Barrie (author of "Peter Pan") said "It's only work if you'd rather be doing something else".</span></div>

Klondike is Bonnie's nickname for Grady (even she doesn't know why). Grady will demonstrate his mad craft skills with projects especially suited to our younger CQers. Today we're going to start with an easy one.<br />
<br />
Grady is a big fan of adventure and fantasy movies. Swords, shields and armor are some of his favorite things. So today, Grady is going to show you how to make a shield out of the lid of a pizza box. Projects like this are a great way to recycle cardboard. We actually cut off the top of the pizza box whenever we order pizza now (when it's clean) so that we'll have it when we think of a new project.<br />
<br />
<u>Materials</u>:<br />
Clean pizza box lid or other largish piece of cardboard<br />
2 strips of cardboard (we cut the folding sides of the lid) <br />
Markers or other means of decorating your shield<br />
Scissors<br />
Heavy duty tape of your choice (We used packing tape because we had it, but duck tape works great)<br />
A grown-up to help with the cutting <br />
<br />
<u>Instructions</u><br />
<br />
1. If you're using a pizza box, cut the side flaps off and set them aside. These are the parts that fold down and tuck into the lower portion of the box.<br />
2. Draw the shape you want your shield to be on the side printed with the pizza logo. This way, there won't be any lines on the side you decorate after you cut it out.<br />
3. With an adult's help, CAREFULLY cut out your shield.<br />
4. Tape the 2 cardboard strips to the back (logo side) of your shield, being careful to leave room for your hand and forearm to fit through. We found that putting a piece of tape across the end of the strip and then a piece of tape across each end of tape helped it to stay in place.<br />

5. Now for the best part: Decorate your shield! We used markers for this one, but we're going to use paint on the next one. We also talked about finding a picture of a lion (Grady's favorite device for a shield), printing it out on card stock and making a stencil. We'll let you know how it turns out!<br />

This week I want to talk about fingerless gloves--a favorite subject of mine.<br />
<br />
I adore fingerless gloves. Looking at them, wearing them and especially making them. I've made some pretty ones before from a nice pattern I found <a href="http://crochetinsider.com/pattern/afternoon-tea-fingerless-gloves-0" target="_blank">here</a>, but what I had in mind this time required writing my own pattern. Eek! I'd done that before on other projects, but this was more complex than, say, one of my amigurumis. These gloves would require a thumb gusset and an opening for the thumb, a motif worked into the mesh and a vent at the wrist so that they would be easy to get on and off. I'd used buttons for my previous gloves and had carried that over into my ruffle cuff patterns. But I wanted a more open, flared wrist this time. What to do? Experiment, of course!<br />
<br />
Trying things out and unraveling them when they didn't work was tedious, especially shaping the thumb gusset, but what really took a lot of trial and error was working the motifs into the mesh as I came around each time. The 'A' was difficult, but I'm pleased with the result:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU0mPej3JSZL_pUOwYaU8O0B5A9sirPosgLXXU_xYLNPpN3nIz_R61o-3z9U00Q7xbxoHSMqoWC7dFjxjCpIPcBZBGLzqW8dDvfiIjALq8sK87pVpbPoANB1Cqn5Ngc9nNng0k7sXB2fw/s1600/100_4553.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU0mPej3JSZL_pUOwYaU8O0B5A9sirPosgLXXU_xYLNPpN3nIz_R61o-3z9U00Q7xbxoHSMqoWC7dFjxjCpIPcBZBGLzqW8dDvfiIjALq8sK87pVpbPoANB1Cqn5Ngc9nNng0k7sXB2fw/s320/100_4553.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
With the motif worked in and the thumb hole worked out (after many tries), the main of the glove was done. I wasn't sure I liked the shape, but decided to go ahead and add the blue edging anyway. What a difference it made! It was just what I pictured. There's a lesson learned!<br />
<br />

For the other glove I decided to honor the Mad Hatter himself with a hat motif. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It's coming along nicely, but reversing the pattern for the right hand has turned out to be slightly more complex than I would have thought, presumably because you crochet from right to left no matter where the thumb hole needs to be! I'm working it out though...<br />

Today's treasury is all about dragonflies. I have always admired these, but when I heard them referred to as "warriors from the treetop provinces" in Bridge to Tarabithia, I fell irrevocably in love. I also know nerdy science things about them, like the fact that they spend most of their lives in the nymph stage, which is far less pretty, and that they can't walk; their legs are made for landing only. Enjoy! ~Ellie, CQ Maitresse de Crochet
