This is something new I came up with last year, but didn't have much chance to play with until recently. It's a glass architectural tile from Home Depot crocheted into metallic fiber. I did one last year to get the formula down but wasn't entirely happy with it and when I had to fill my table at AWA I put it out as one of the feature pieces to see the reaction. I got lots of OOHs and AAHs and by Friday closing some guy had grabbed it for his girlfriend, no questions asked. So I have done a few more to post in my Etsy shop; they'll be up starting on Thanksgiving altho I will probably have to reshoot all the photos because it's been cloudy and rainy here every time I have time to shoot and they are all coming out sucky. But I need to get them posted so the sucky photos will have to do for now. Speaking of, those beads on either side of the tile are a bitch to photo; they're foil-lined glass (the package calls them "miracle beads") and they reflect light something ridiculous. They're very pretty in person but impossible to get a good photo of. I need a better photo setup. or at the very least better reflectors. And better lighting. SUNLIGHT, DAMMIT!

My original design, copyright me 2012. Glass architectural tile crocheted into cotton/mylar metallic fiber with beige foil-lined beads for accent. Will be available at my Etsy shop www.etsy.com/shop/SavingGraces
