| Irish Crochet Lace Heart in Marsala Reds - Handmade By RSS Designs In Fiber This time I made this "Irish Crochet Lace" Heart with all lustrous DMC Pearl Cotton Threads - with the main color theme being what is being called this year "Marsala" (Pantone's 2015 Color of the Year). I have had DMC Pearl Cottons in this deep Earthy Wine Red for years and years - I believe DMC named it "Dark Garnet Red" at one time, but when I saw what "Marsala" was, I knew it was that color, which I love!! For the 3 Multi-layer Irish Crochet Roses inside the Heart, I used a Variegated or Shaded Thread in the same color family - with Marsala Red the darkest and Baby Pink as the lightest in that Shaded Thread. I did my best, when I photographed it to capture the luster or sheen of the DMC Pearl Cotton Thread - all of their Pearl Cotton Threads have this special "glow" to them - I understand from their description that this comes from the way it is made and twisted in France. I just love this DMC Pearl Cotton Thread - in all sizes and colors!! This Deep Red, "Marsala" is an indication of deep Love or Friendship - it seems to me it would make a great gift for any occasion or holiday about Love or Friendship! I have been crocheting all kinds of things with Hearts since I started crocheting in Thread - 2003 --- See more Irish Crochet Hearts like this one in my Etsy Shop Here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/RSSDesignsInFiber?section_id=15433511 ----- and below is a You Tube video I did: "My Hearts by RSS Designs In Fiber" -- and here is my current Pinterest Board, "Hearts in Fiber Arts I Made" |
