Irish crochet bookmarks

[crochetrae]

Both my sisters have February birthdays, so I made each a bookmark. This is the first time I've made any of these from this leaflet and they were really fun to do. It's the "Monogram & Lace Bookmarks" from Annie Potter Presents. Not real practical for use since they're so fat. Maybe they'll find a use for them. I'm thinking I may do one for my mom for Mother's Day this year.

They are beautiful, but they don't look very good to use for bookmarks, do they? :think Gorgeous work, though.

:clapThey are so gorgeous they should be worn not stuffed in a book, imho. If they were gifted to me I'd attached a pin or barette.

[Rosemary]

They are beautiful!! Pins, brooches, hat trim, fixed to a photo frame - so many possibilities to display them.

[cupcake]

They are stunning! I think they would look fantastic as a brooch worn on a plain dark jacket.

[Gran]

Those are quite lovely!!!

[TXyarnelf]

Those are ABSOLUTELY beautiful.

They may not work as bookmarks, but I'm thinking that they would look lovely mounted on velvet or satin in a pretty gold frame where their beauty could be enjoyed. Just a thought!

[mamaoso]

[auntbubbels]

I haven't read all the posts but I would take them and put them in a small frame with a color velvet backing - they are beautiful :cheer

[lakota85usa]

OMG, they are gorgeous. I've always wanted to teach myself Irish crochet but I haven't had time and anything thinner than size 30 thread scares me a bit. LOL. You did a beautiful job on the bookmarks. I love them.
Thanks for sharing.

Those are beautiful!! They would be lovely adornments for a top, of any kind. Oh, I just realized that I ordered that book too! Yippee, I can make some soon. You did a great job!!:clap

[Twinnish]

Those are beautiful. I'd love to make them, although I'm probably not advanced enough as a crocheter yet.

What level crochet skill would you call these? Intermediate? Advanced? Just wondering.

Great job!

[RachelG]

Great job!

Claire, I'm not real good at that. Sometimes what I think is really easy, others consider to be difficult. Can you make flowers? If so, no problem. You just make several different sizes of flowers and a couple of sprays and glue them all onto a handle of your choice and in the arrangement you like. That was actually the hardest part, determing how you want it all arranged. :lol

gorgeous bookmarks. i personally think it should be used as an accent for a dress or coat to show-off the intricate design. :manyheart

[dixieredhead]

[angelfire]

maybe they could be used for a trim on a sachet or even on a nice shirt. i know that I would love to find a use for them:)

[Loralynn]

I know this is an old thread, but I just had to comment. These are truely lovely. I can definately see them being worn in the hair or on a neckband by a bride. Beautiful work!
