So far I'm pleased with this design, especially the colors, which include my own hand dyed "Adventurer" for the center, "Stonehill Wine" for the 2nd round, and Lizbeth #676 Leaf Green Dk for the final round, all size 10. The beads include Toho 11/0 Round Andromeda MA #704 strung onto the thread, and over selected picots I used 8/0 seed beads in a slightly brighter but similar color.
The bracelet turned out a bit too large for my own wrist, so expect to see it listed in my Etsy shop soon. As for the design, I'll probably tweak it and experiment some more.
Hand dyeing a new batch of thread tonight!

What I admire most in your art, Marilee, is that you have such a distinct style! Tatting is difficult enough as it is, but making it look distinctly recognisable as typical Marilee, that is a wonder!
Really? I have a distinct style? That's so very cool to hear! Thank you, Tally Tatty!
Beautiful design and colors. The pearl tatting in the center looks great. I agree with Tally Tatty. I've seen some of your items in Pinterest and I know it's yours as soon as I see the picture. You do such wonderful stuff!
This is beautiful and I can tell you enjoy this jewelry making, love the colors you have chosen and bracelet looks fun and like the others said it is your style!
Looks totally awesome from here!!! :)
Absolutely a recognizable and distinct style!
Hope the new thread dyes include knotty gritty! I am in love with that color way.
Lovely pattern and gorgeous bracelet in those colours. Look forward to seeing the pattern
