At the Interweave offices in Colorado, the third floor is
primarily the domain of the editorial staff, and frequently we stop to admire
the projects waiting for their debut in our sister publications. Before writing
my latest newsletter, I visited the beading offices where they were preparing
the Stringing projects for print. We
had been discussing the possibility of an impromptu photo shoot combining some
of our favorite projects from the Interweave
Crochet Fall 2010 issue and the upcoming Stringing issue.
Excited by the prospect of showcasing both crochet and
jewelry, five of us gathered in the photo studio across the street, each with a
crocheted item, a beautiful piece of jewelry, and a single prop. We quickly
discovered that the combination of beautiful handcrafted projects and good
friendship equals laughter and fun, and each photo series also quickly
developed a story.

Kathy combined the luscious Lacy Cables Scarf with elegant rose
and green earrings. With the addition of an old trunk, she felt herself
transported to the gangplank of a cruise ship. Laughing she joked the
ship was
the Titanic but promised it would not sink this time.

| Next good friends Heidi and Alexandra took their turn in
front of the camera. Fancying herself an artist, Alexandra picked up a
fake
paintbrush and created an imaginary masterpiece. The Birch Vest and eye
catching
necklace certainly give her an artistic flair. |

| Heidi was framed. She caught one glimpse of this pale green
frame and called dibs. Combined with the Sangria Cardigan and a bracelet
comprised of colorful metal flowers, this frame brought out her inner
model. |

| I see Sarah as our resident office shawl wearer. She loves
making shawls to wear herself and to give as gifts. The Sugar Maple
Shawl and
this necklace with its prominent pendant would warm her up on a cool
morning and
start the creativity flowing. Sarah decided to throw in a cup of "hot
coffee". Seems she found something surprising in her cup. |

| As the photographer of the group, I was the last the take a
turn in front of the camera. I love these earrings, and the Sage Jacket
lends a
fun flair that's still perfect for the office or a fun day with friends.
And
the mini umbrellas we found in the prop room soon had us singing old
Broadway
tunes. These earrings will definitely be my first Stringing
project. |
