The finished garter

I did promise to take photos in day light when I could, fortunately the sun was still shining when I got home last night so here they are;

I tried to keep the beading subtle, so its just round the very edge.

Now its finally ready to take its place in my shop

 

Crochet Beaded Barefoot sandals

I finished these last night.

They started with making the little half-moons and then they morphed into barefoot sandals

My feet are very small, but I hope that the way that they wrap round would work on larger feet too - I like to make things that are a little different to the norm, and I have not seen barefoot sandals that wrap like this before.

I have hand sewn on beads around the tie ends & also all allong the half-moons.

The tie ends are also long enough to wrap around a couple of times.
