So far this is the best feather design that I could come up with using tatting. I've been thinking about feathers the last few weeks (can you say,
"feather-brained"...lol). But, I like the feather-y effect of the folded rings, the beads down the center that accentuate the center rib, and the natural look of having one side slightly larger than the other. The picots at the base of the feather could be cut and frayed, for a downy look, but I chose to leave them uncut, thinking that with wear they would hold up better. What do you think?
Martha Ess has done a very nice tutorial on
folded rings.

Oh, those are marvelous! I agree, not cutting the picots was the right choice on something that's going to be worn.
They are beautiful. I agree that leaving the picots uncut was the right decision.
Those are nice!! :)
Śliczne kolczyki :-)
Pozdrawiam.
Fabulous. I don't like the thought of real feathers as earrings, but tatted ones would be fine!
Very nice!! I agree, as these are going to see a lot of wear not cutting those picots is a good idea. I think they would look really great with them cut and frayed, maybe as accents to a dream catcher?
A dream catcher...good idea!
These are beautiful really nice to look at lots of possibilities here!
Lovely design.
Great feathers!
I like their look of evanescence and immaterialty!
Beautiful feather earrings, I love your pattern,

Well, I think this pattern is wonderful, and the picots add a nice flowery detail at the end of the feather. So, well done! I'll try the tutorial, thanks for the link ;))
Those are just too cool. I am constantly amazed at the shapes you are able to produce with tweaking rings and chains.
Beautiful design!
Exquisite! They really do look like feathers. Ostrich feathers! :-)
Wonderful!
