Green Irish Crochet Posies Necklace

I have vintage Irish Crochet patterns I am making into wearable jewelry art pieces. Each is unique and hand crocheted by me. Irish crochet is a type of lace, which has its origin in the famine years of the 19th century in Ireland. It was taught to anyone that would learn by nuns using Venetian needlepoint lace as a basis. Compared to other crochet laces Irish Crochet is raised; padded with a thicker cord to give it a three dimensional look and texture. It is very detailed and intricate, with Motifs being worked separately from the background lace.

I live in the desert, make jewelry and look at the stars. Thanks for stopping by.
