About this Product
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!! THIS IS NOT A CLASS!!!
If you would like to learn how to transform portraits into crocheted acrylic works of art this is for you. My patterns are very detailed and easy to understand.
As you see in the pictures, the first picture for the pattern you are receiving, the second is a picture of a previous portrait I've done when I was halfway through. The crocheted piece is on the left side and the original portrait that was used to create the pattern is on the right. The third picture is of the finished piece. And the 4th picture is of what my patterns look like.
To determine the size you need, chain with the hook that you are going to use in order to make the piece. There are 2 other listings that will be available with this picture in difference sizes, so pick which one is best for you.
Once your payment is submitted you are able to download a practice pattern and the purchased pattern. I suggest that you finish this pattern before attempting to try one of the listed pattern. If you know how to SC (Single Crochet) and change color you will be fine. You may email me a picture of the finished practice pattern once you finish so that I can check your work. Rest assure, this is not for a grade, I just want to make sure you are going in the right direction.
Learning this technique with the practice pattern, it will help you create beautiful works of art for your friends and family, but also the means to earn a commission from potential clients who appreciate your work but do not have the time to do it.
If there is a generic image that you would like made into a pattern that can be resold, let me know. I will not sell patterns of copy written images. If you purchase 5 generic patterns from me from any listing on my etsy page, I will email you a pattern for free. Send me your email once you have purchased your patterns.
I've created these patterns so they are easy to read. You can use any crochet hook that you choose and are comfortable with. The patterns are made to use 8 different colors of yarn that are brown tones (These tones are easy to find in the stores). I do have a chart of different color tones but they have not been tested. If you would like to receive that along with your pattern, please let me know.
If you have any questions please inbox me with them.
Derrian Did It
Meet the Maker
Originally from Columbus, Ohio so my husband calls me nutty but I say that's just the Buckeye in me. I spent 7 years in the 82nd Airborne Division in Fort Bragg, NC. I lived at the United States Military Academy is in West Point, NY. I lived in Georgia for a while, hence the "I burp Red and Black" burp clothes and bibs. (I'm back only momentarily) And I am happy to say, I am more then just a Ray Lewis fan now, but a Ravens fan. And now that I am in Broncos Country, the orange and blue things have come. So needless to say most of the products I have in my shop are about those places and things that I have lived and loved. I've always known that I was good with my hands. I was blessed with two wonderful grandmothers that did a lot with theirs. They never really taught me how to knit, crochet, or sew, but childhood memories got the best of me when I saw a friend of mine crocheting and it started from there. (So don't think your kids/grandkids won't do what you do. They may not do it now, but they see you, and may do it later.) It all started with one hat that I wore. Everywhere I went people asked me where I got it and I said, "I made it." Then of course they would ask for me to make them one. After a while people started asking other people who made it. And the answer was Derrian did. So that's the reason I named my shop DerrianDidIt (Derrian Did It) "Derrian made it" seemed a little weird to me and when I was younger for some reason I was the blame for many things. I think it was because my sister thought I was going to get in trouble, for instance. The lawn mower was moved, my father came home and said, "Who touched the lawnmower?" My sister, "Derrian Did It" He smiled as he looked outside at the freshly cut grass. Then again my father comes in, "Who painted the living room?" My sister, "Derrian Did It" he smiles as he says, "Thank you, I was hoping that the walls would just paint themselves but I'm glad to see you did it." He was a single father trying to raise two girls so needless to say, you get tired some times. But that is the back story to my shop and the name of it. I pray that the thing you purchase from my shop will create memories as wonderful to you and the special people in your life as the things I make and the name does to me. Have a great day, everyday, on purpose. God, Family, Work, in that order, Derrian P.S. I DO NOT, and WILL NOT make anything for the state up north or Navy, so please do not ask. Your order WILL BE REFUNDED!!!
