I made them some time ago - about a dozen - probably for some other reason...there is a huge amount of the paper yarn on the reel. I've quite a few interesting threads, came to me from "who knows where..." I used to have someone who regularly gave me yarns, when I was a weaver with big looms...
CM: yep cheerful and the best thing (not here) I could paint over them if I wanted different colours. They aren't rocket science to make although I have to have my "hands holding well..." the disabilities I have like the world to be on par with them hands...
All so unique and pretty. Very nicely done. Love the crocheted flowers

crocheted flowers!!! ??? I'm sounding like a broken record here... but amazing to me! LOL. truly Catherine! I mean I've heard of and have seen very detailed origami. but crocheted flowers from "paper thread?" where have I been all my life? I've never heard of paper thread! but it all turned out beautifully. :D it dawns on me that YOU have been your own BEST physical therapist all these years.
Ann: still can't remember why "pink" started to fascinate me - but maybe I had no choice when the roasted beetroot got into the act.
tammy: I can't crochet as well now, my hands don't do lots of the stitches well, but these are relatively simple and there isn't much to them. And I have don't have to have precise anything, although the more stitches in the circle the better it forms and covers any not quite right... I've quite a lot of that coloured paper thread, along with some other much finer paper threads - of course commercially made but still interesting and actually quite strong. I think it's quite possible to make your own paper thread, but I think I'll pass on that...
K & T: yes the pink is somewhat appealing...helps when it appears I bought a semi-shiny pink paint in a relatively large tube some time ago ... it dries glossy looking as well...
thanks M of W...am on a bit of break at the moment - not sorting but tidying up; so far very little has been binned. But a lot of supplies have had me pondering them but getting similars into tidy piles seems a good idea...
