Size 40 Lizbeth and hand dyed resulted in a motif just over an inch wide, so I thought it would do nicely for earrings. I used my own design, a variation of the Celtic Triangle taught in my "Next Steps In Shuttle Tatting" Craftsy class
http://shrsl.com/qo0s (affiliate link which gets me a little extra money when people purchase a class after clicking it).
For the pendant I used size 10 thread that produced a motif almost 2 inches wide.
Yesterday I attended a meeting of Greater Milwaukee Tatting Guild. We're a group of friends who get together at the food court of a local shopping mall and tat. Usually every month, but taking a winter break so the next meeting is planned for February.
I started another Celtic tatting motif at the meeting, using Lizbeth metallic for one of the elements and adding some of Karey Solomon's hand dyed thread from
Graceful Arts Fiber Studio. I'm happy with the combination so far!

Wow amazing such amazing and clever earrings
Your earrings look wonderful! Thank you for the infos about thread-size/item-measurements. I think I'll make a set too :)
Wonderful earrings and pendant!!! :)
Fabulous other projects!!! :)
Very clever to use finer threads for the earrings rather than altering the pattern. Love the Celtic look.
Beautiful! Love the tatting and colours!
Those earrings are truly lovely I have mixed your colors at times too it is fun!
Gorgeous earrings, love the pattern and design

I was gifted a skein of your lovely HDT but am still on the lookout for a good pattern to use it - can't squander it on just any project ;-P
Very artistic and unique tatting, as usual!
