A little bit inspired

Have a look at these absolutely beautiful crocheted vegetables! I must admit to being quite partial to the odd yarn craft - I knit, crochet and sew, but these little things take crafting to a new level.

These little beauties have been created by a lady called jungjung.

Have a look at the amazing things on her site.

all of them crocheted by her.

Her tools of the trade include crocheting needles as thin as 0.4 millimiters,

and size 80 dmc yarns that she dyes herself.

Not only are these delicate offerings pieces of art in their own right, they are jewellery as well,

mostly brooches. I would love a whole garden's worth to wear on my coat. AMAZING!
