Ta-Dah moment today! This is what I've decided to make for my Garden project. I embellished my black pashmina with some crochet Japanese flowers - I really do like it now!
The idea has not 'grown in my garden' as we'd say in Slovenian but I'm ever so sorry - I can't quite remember where I've got the inspiration! If anyone recognizes the design please let me know. I think it was one of those crafty German magazines but I'm not sure which one.
It was my Mum who told me about this lovely scarf she'd seen when browsing through magazines at the local library. I went there to check it myself and absolutely loved the idea. Coincidentally, it was the time when I'd just learnt how to make these lovely flowers (thank you so much, Lucy!) so I had to put them to use somehow!
I'm not very much into black but this pashmina has now become part of my 'favourite range'!

Hello!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I love this!! Those colours are just dazzling against the black, and you have really enhanced that plain pashmina, turned it into a work of art! So glad you are taking part, looking forward to seeing what you do next!
Love Julia x
Thank you, Julia, and thank you for accepting me in the flickr group! I just need to figure out how to add my photos to the group... I'm having some problems at the moment! Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to embellish your pashmina.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carol!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous way to update a simple pashmina, it looks lovely and the colours are fabulous with the black - Well done you, it looks great! Jenny x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful idea. It has totally transformed the black.
ReplyDeleteJenny & Val, thank you for the kind comment!
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning Biba! Really great effect. Your flowers are so perfectly made and they show up so beautifully on the black. I have just spent two days doing a clear out and found a pale pink pashmina that my husband gave me a few years ago. It could really do with something added to it. I might embellish some flowers and sew them on.....one day!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Aileen! And good luck with your pashmina :) I'm actually thinking about embellishing a white one as well...
ReplyDeleteHi Biba, Thanks for the nice comments on my blog. The being creative group is a lot of fun. I had to reply to your comment here. It came into my email but you have no reply email contact in your blogger profile. It is easy for people to reply to your comments if you edit your profile and tick the 'show my email address' box.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Thanks for the tip, Val, I did what you suggested, I hope it works!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can make a t shirt with that crocheted flower in the middle, one for your daughter, yourself and your mom :) and one more for me!
Lorena, thanks, what a lovely idea! I might just do that, actually! And you're very welcome - just let me know the size you'd need!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful - the colours are so effective on the black :)
