Introducing the Swamp Crone Shawl!
Here it is draped about this blog's spokesmodel...
Crocheted using this acrylic-y stuff and honeycomb stitch, Swamp Crone worked up quickly. I even fringed the edges and I'm not normally a fringer, at least, not in the yarn sense. But hey, one does what one must for one's craft.
Up close and personal with the ghoulish accoutrements...
An eyeball...
Detached digit...
And a good ole brown spidey!
Oh, and all self-respecting Swamp Crones never leave their respective shacks upon stilts without a trusty Eyeball of Infinite Wisdom...
Ahhh, I love Halloween!

ReplyDeleteHow can something be so disgusting and beautiful. It must be a Regina Original. Arts has never been more fun. Thank You!
ReplyDeleteThis wonderful piece of work calls to mind one of my favorite ever songs...."Swamp Witch" by Jim Stafford
