My latest Crochet Hook. The handel was made using a blank created by a lady known as the Flower Girl. She named it Pink Clouds. Flower Girl pen blanks are made using dried flowers and other flora which are cast under pressure in Alumilite resin. The nature of flowers, seed heads, cones etc is that they might sometimes conceal the occasional void which the resin has been unable to reach. There are a couple of visable airbubbles and small imperfections. Nethertheless this is a truely stunning crochet hook. Thank-you for looking
