THE BEADING GEM'S JOURNAL

Whimsical Crochet Wire Jewelry by Other Worlds

Saffron Johns, a British artisan now living in Bulgaria has such a vivid imagination so much so she is able to create a whole world filled with whimsical crochet wire animals and characters. That's why her shop on Etsy is called Other Worlds.

 She said, "I always expected as a child that everything had much more to it than first met the eye, I would imagine that things came to life or held hidden secrets." Her love of "coming up with stories and magical creatures" still continues to delight and inspire her

Wire is her preferred medium although she also includes other materials such as gemstones in order to complete a design. Saffron has used wire for wire for years but did not actually learn to crochet until a few years ago.  She doesn't use any fancy crochet stitches, just the basic one to create a wire fabric using 0.5 mm wire (about 24G).

Her playful sense of humor shines in the Angel and Devil shoulder brooches and many of her other designs.
