Crocheted Jewelry Dishes - Knitting Crochet Sewing Crafts Patterns and Ideas! I love the vitrines at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that are filled with household artifacts from places long ago and far away. Tightly woven mats and perfectly crafted sandals, hammered metal and braided leather, ancient objects still feel alive with the integrity and vitality of their makers. What sometimes also strikes me is how little our aesthetic values have changed over the thousands of years. Beauty is still a human imperative and careful craftsmanship is still a revered skill. We still respond to simple shapes and beautiful materials, to whimsical embellishments and practical uses. I thought about this a lot as I crocheted these Jewelry Dishes. My trip into antiquity was greatly assisted by the purity and simplicity of Habu's extraordinary fibers.

It's not hard to make your own pretty little trays and bowls, just some simple crocheting... like it's always been done! PS Wouldn't these gorgeous brass bracelets be right at home in a museum case?
