Pink and Black Crocheted Flower Necklace

I just wanted to give you a little peek at my latest crochet project. It's a pink and black choker with a flower embellishment.

This necklace was inspired by a previous experiment with layered crochet stitches. I blogged about it awhile back, and received some helpful suggestions and requests to see the stitch in a contrasting color combination. Hence the black and pink. Thanks, Beth & Sara!

The flower is a variation of my crocheted frost flower. Instead of using worsted weight yarn, I crocheted the flower with embroidery floss and a size D hook. Then I raided my stash of scrapbooking supplies to dress it up a little with some faux flowers and a brad.

I like the direction this is going in, although I think it could be improved upon. This has potential, but I'm thinking I might mess around with it a bit more before writing up a pattern. You're invited to check back to see what else develops.
