| Pearl tatting, aka double sided chain |
The plan is to tat the top portion only of my fanciest necklace, and write up the pattern just for that much. Only the pointy collar top! Only that much! |
| Original design combining tatting and beading |
Only the collar part (in dark purple in this photo) at the top, not the fancy beaded stone in the center or the rest of it. Although, the flower shapes on either side are a pattern that is already published in Marilee's Beaded Tatting Finery book as "Celtic Hexad".
So far, I've learned that when working with multiple threads, a convenient place to hide the tails is needed, and that place doesn't exist when there are core beads in the final ring!

So, although I love the elegant look of the beaded ring, I'll plan to go with a plain ring in the final version. If it gets that far!

That makes a really good edging, love it!

ReplyDeleteI saw this on Facebook, and love the design would make a lovely edging, love your fancy necklace.
ReplyDeleteThe necklace is spectacular! I wonder if something like that could be added to the back of my performance outfit? (One typically plays the organ sitting with your back to the audience.)
ReplyDeleteLove it ,love it, and did I mention LOVE IT!
