crochet leaf monsters

 

I saw a necklace on pinterest that seemed so easy

a little crochet, a little metal.

Done!

 

 

Only, these tiny stitches and I,

well...

 

we are not friends.

 

And then I painted them

(as per the demo)

and then we really had words.

 

They were UGLY and terrible and confused.

And I didn't take a picture,

the horrors were howling so.

 

 

They turned into unsightly, clotted

amorphous...

 

Then I painted over them again

 to try and recover something,

which resulted in

(above)

Sigh.

 

Then I started over.

 

Maybe someone has a brilliant

 idea for what to do with

the original mess?

 

I hope so,

 because I'm off to mess with these again.

 

Because monsters are full of potential.
