Crochet a Nature Maze

Arlene Mintzer crochets a very personal mapping of colors as natural as the elements themselves. Suggestions of earth, sky, sea and air meander melting in a spare plastron top that seems to breathe when you do. Crochet it in tapestry yarn; wear it next to summer skin or over thin fabrics. Bracelets: KJL. For directions and yarn mail order source please see General Instructions.
