This month's Umi and Tsuru blog giveaway is a pair of earrings made with tatting and orang asli beads. The beads were made by the Lun Bawang, an indigenous people of Sarawak, East Malaysia. Just leave a comment here before 30 September 2010 for a chance to win this. I will use the random number generator to pick the winner.
A mustard orang asli clay bead (10mm) with bronze-toned bead caps. Above it is a lace tatted in mint green Flora 20 cotton thread (#239) with opaque yellow Delica beads from Japan. Ear hooks and findings are bronze-toned. Length approx. 5.0cm / 2.0inch including ear hook.
How do you like the backdrop. It is a tea cup saucer (without the cup) which I picked up at a store in Mornington Peninsular years ago. It would have been so pretty if it came with the cup but I love the saucer too.
These are so delicate looking.

ReplyDeleteI think the tea cup saucer brings out the beauty of the earrings. What made you decide to photograph the two together? Nice choice!
Sign me up for the giveaway. Please and Thank You
Very pretty display of the earrings using that saucer.
ReplyDeleteThe bead is interesting. I know not much about beads so I have never heard of orang asli beads.

Love the earrings. And love your kitties! I'm always picking cat hair out of my tatting....
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for display. I'm forever picking up pretty saucers and plates just because I like them. That reminds me...I have a few pieces in the dishwasher that I should get around to emptying!
