A Corny Acorn necklace
Corny Acorn (CC48)
This handcrafted necklace has been named "A Corny Acorn" ~ for obvious reasons. Created during one of my phases of attempting miniature items - and out popped these acorns.
The acorns are crocheted with cotton yarn from Nepal. They are then stuff with cotton to give it shape and firmness. The chain is woven with a beaded crochet cord - finger crochet with double beads (beads on both sides of the flat cord). And the chain is a gold plated light aluminium large-link chain that is both nickel and lead free.

I have hung the single acorn at the bottom but it occurs to me now that the double acorn could also be hung as the drop "bead". |

This close up is to show the finger-crocheted double-beaded cord interwoven into the chain. The curling tendrils is 2 rows of double crochet. |
