Vanessa Mooncie takes the reader on a making journey, explaining the techniques needed to produce a wide range of vibrant and exhilarating pieces; from intricate bumble bee brooch pins and vintage-inspired tattoo emblem brooches to delicate flower posy corsages and charming heart-shaped rings.

Projects range in difficulty, with some being suitable for beginner crocheters, and others for those with more experience of the craft. With detailed patterns and useful hand-drawn charts, there’s also an extensive techniques section explaining everything needed to complete the projects.
Projects include: pretty posy brooch, daffodil headband, mod target cufflinks, loveheart tattoo necklace, charm bracelet and oak leaf and acorn pendant
