Toadstools and hoops

This was done some time ago but I had such fun with it I wanted to share. The background is an old corkboard I covered in muslin and the pins are flat head pins with shrinky-dink toadstools. This was made to showcase sets of earrings and now resides at a friends house.

The earrings were inspired by ravelry. I was looking for a way to jazz the hoops up a bit as they were looking worn. Perfect solution!



Things I learned
:: Make more shrinky-dink pins than you think you'll need as they might not all come out the way you want them.
:: Crocheting with sewing thread is not the easiest thing I've ever done.
:: Use more base chain stitches than you think you'll need as they squish down quite a bit as you do more rows of the lace.
