CraftBlog: Update 008, Upgrades of 3 Previous Designs

Front Page of CraftBlog UpdatePost 008 by ChameleonStar
Hi, craft lovers!
This is my 8th update post on the studio.

I'm ready to show the updates on my older designs called Gisela, Angelika and Eloise. I made my first introduction to them in the Update #003 post. For now they have reached their almost final outlooks, however I do still plan to add some minor details into design later on.

And since at the moment I've finished with the work on Gisela, Angelika and Eloise crochet zipper pouches/clutch bags, now I can go back to working on my newest projects~

Gisela Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag

Since I didn't want to make a lot of decoration of this design, like I usually do with other projects, I just sewed a zipper in and added a yellow lining for this work. 

She looks gorgeous with her crazy colors, and I definitely look forward to working with this yarn again as it feels amazing to the touch and looks astonishing with its melange palette~

It was a quick and joyful work and I'm proud of this project, as it really looks nice in any home interior.

Eloise Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag

Just as I planned before, I made some additional stitches on the top of the project which made it a bit larger. I used milky color yarn for the top and did some rounding on the edges; that made it more softer.

With the same milky yarn I made a tassel and put it on the zipper. I think white color harmonized the overall design and now it looks cozy and homey as I wanted it to be in the first place~

Angelika Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag

With Angelika I made the biggest amount of changes of all three designs I'm showing you today.

I added additional height to the top just as with Eloise, but with Angelika I used a prime gray color for that. I added some ruffles on the sides and changed the location of the beads on the bows.

The bright yellow plays out amazingly on the gray bag body and I really love the ruffles~ This design has a lot of texture because of the stitch I used and it gave the project an elegant sophisticated look, which I enjoy immensely.

That is it for now, folks!

Keep your mind sharp and have peaceful thoughts everyone!
Have a fantastic bag day!

CraftBlog: Update 009, 3 New Crochet Zipper Pouches

Hi, craft lovers! This is my 9th update post on the studio. All of the projects are doing great and there's been a lot of work done. I finished decorating some of my previous designs, started a couple new ones and did a lot of lining work for my previous projects.  Today I want to share 3 new crochet projects in their finished look. Their names are Ariete, Luna and LĂ©onie. All of them have quite a sweet and soft touch, and they were all inspired by warm spring thematics. Ariete Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag The design was inspired by the blooming of spring flowers and I wanted to add a bit of cool freshness to the whole picture. The clutch design was made in hope to bring some white floral elegance into everyday life. The body of the clutch is quite simple and most of the work was focused on decoration. I wanted to try out some 2-side colors ideas for some time now and am very happy about it coming alive like that~ I chose royal blue color for one side and the borders and crepe

CraftBlog: Update 006, 3 New Crochet Zipper Pouches

Hi, craft lovers! This is my 6th update post on the studio. Been busy building my DeviantArt account , but managed to finish three more projects. This time I did a lot of embroidery and, must say, really adored it~ Probably, gonna do more of that cute stuff in the future~ So, I finished three crochet zipper pouches I previously mentioned in Update Post #004 and started two new designs as well. One of two new works (that you can see in the end of the post) has a 2-side color motif to it and is inspired by the blooming of spring flowers. The second new design is my first 'true' clutch, and I really love the combination of two colors in it and the crochet stitch I chose for this project. Scroll to the end if you want to take a peek. Now let's take a look at my finalized projects for this update. Hailey Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag One of three zipper pouches has a lot of embroidery on it, which is something I'd been wanting to do for some time now. It has pastel color

CraftBlog: Update 002, 3 Crochet Zipper Pouches

Hi, craft lovers! This is my 2nd CraftBlog's update post. I made another three items. Just as I wanted during the previous week, I crocheted a zipper pouch from a milky woolen yarn, a small darker and very simple mini-pouch, and a dark red and bigger in size basket-like bag. Drew Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag The milky pouch also shares a 5-petal plain flower with colored center for a decoration, which I also did for the  red-and-white pouch previous week . Only this time I used orange beads to decorate the center of the flowers, which played out completely new effect on the item. I called this design Drew; maybe because this particular set of colors really pulls me in and inspire to make more designs like this one.

Then I just made flowers from ribbons and sewed them onto the front pa
