This is the first row of a necklace design that I am working on. The beads are pre-strung, and are visible on the shuttles. I am in the process of tatting a string of split rings, and after a few more of those, will turn the work to tat the next row of the necklace. The neck cord will be added after the main area of the necklace is finished. Hopefully it will turn out nicely enough to include in the book. I am about done with 21 pages, and expect the finished book to be around 28 pages.
Looking very nice so far. I can't wait for your book to come out it is sure to be a winner.
ReplyDeleteThis definitely looks like another winner to me. Mark me down for one of the first books - signed by you of course!
ReplyDeleteOoh! Aah! I can't wait to see the finished piece! Please add my name to the list for your new book... autographed, please!
ReplyDeleteOh, WOW! That necklace is sooooo beautiful! The beads are exquisite. I hope it does go in the book.
ReplyDeleteThanks much, all of you! I still need to finish tatting the necklace, 1 more earring, and the snowflake. Then take just a few more photos, put in page numbers, and scrutinize for errors that may have been missed. But my very own book, "Boutique Tatting" is nearing completion! Good thing, because my family is getting tired of me working at the computer so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your design process, Marilee!
ReplyDeleteOh Gosh! how can you just do it? I love to see your beaded tatting all the time. I wish I could do it too like you, Maybe your book will teach me. Please do add me to your list as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda and Sapna. My book will have some hints on working with beads included - my own way of working with beads, at least.
