I learned to crochet from good, old home economics class.  I never really pursued this craft because for me, a simple project like a doily took forever to make.  Now, I regret not having paid attention in class as I see a lot of jewellery incorporating beads on crocheted wire.  I admire the artisans that create truly unique and intricate crochet jewellery pieces.
I attempted to make a few projects with wire crochet. I looked at online tutorials for instructions and ideas. Using beads from my collection, here are a few of my projects.
| Mini-doily earrings | 
| Chain stitch pendant | 
| "Cloud" earrings | 
| This can be a ring or pendant | 
There was a lot of trial and error involved so it took a lot of patience, coupled with cuts and blisters along the way. But despite the challenge, I enjoyed making them as each piece is one of a kind.

Wow, beautiful work Aimee! What a great idea!
