| The 1st half of the Split Ring is worked like a normal ring. So, a bead on the 1st half needs to be slid into the working circle of thread before beginning the ring. But, the bead on the 2nd half (from shuttle 2) is slid up only when ready to make the bead picot. (Also seen are beads over picots, held temporarily with paper clips.) |

The photos above show a remake (in progress) of a pendant design that I never got around to writing up. I've called it "Lacy Lantern" recently, but in the past I called it "Swallowtail". If you have an idea for a name for the pendant, feel free to state it in a comment!
By the way, the blinged shuttle was a gift from Lace-lovin' Librarian - thank you, Diane!
The thread I'm currently working with is from my latest hand dyed thread batch, called "Summer Trail", currently listed in my
Etsy shop.
That makes a lot of sense about the beads, thank you!
