Psychedelic Soft Boomerang tatted earrings


Usually I shy away from multicolored threads when I want the unusual shape of the item to be the main focus, but I'm pleased with how these turned out. I used my hand dyed "Summer Trail" to make them.

    Very nice! You even matched where the colors come in!

    The earrings look great in Summer Trail! I still love that thread color, and could just kick myself for using it all on a doily when it would have been prettier as an accent.

    That thread looks great in that design. I really admire how carefully you plan your thread so that the two pieces are so closely matched. I've noticed that in other pieces you've tatted as well.

    I like the way it turnes out. Must have had some calculations involved to get the colours to match each other like that.

    Oh, how beautiful! I love your craft. It's so unusual and every piece I've seen just flows. Your colored threads are to die for.

    Thank you all very much!
    To get them to match, I just sort of took note of where in the color progression I had started on the first one, and tried to start the 2nd one at the same color...and got lucky, I guess! It might not work the next time :)
