A new beaded medallion done


This is the design from the previous post, finished. It's my 2nd attempt, since the first one didn't quite fit together right. I adjusted the stitch count a bit, and now I'm very pleased with the result. A plan to write up the pattern along with another medallion design is in the works.

I happy to announce that I've been accepted into TAFA: The Textile and Fiber Art List. I'm the first tatter represented there, so I consider it quite an honor. Click to see my TAFA profile.

    Such a beautiful medalllion! Another wonderful design, tatted with perfection!

    You're sure busy these days - and a well deserved new membership in a prestigious artistic fiber group. Your credentials are so impressive! Excellent photo, too! So pleased that you're their first tatting artist! I really don't know how you keep up with family, tatting, and music!

    Thanks, everyone. I really don't keep up with everything, just whatever I can manage. Whatever doesn't get done today, well, maybe tomorrow, or maybe never, whatever.

    Congratulations with TAFA.
    Very beautiful medaillon, again! Your work do like if you weave some irondread in it; so nice round are your rings. How do you do that? Please can you tell me??

    Thanks!
    Yvonne, the center ring is actually a "mock ring" (a chain that has been closed back on itself). So, that helps to make it rounder, I think. Also, the bead being in there is helping to make it round.

    Oh, and here's the video of making the mock ring with the bead in the middle: http://youtu.be/Nc76iyNkN2o
