Cocoon Earrings


This is a great design from Marilee Rockley. Thank you Marilee. How do you come up with designs? 

I love the smooth edge that the node stitch gave this earring. This pair was tatted using Tat-ilicious' HDT called Mindanao Gum Size 40. Delica beads and Swarovski crystal pearls (5mm) were used. It measures about 2 inches from top of earring design or 2.75 inches from top of ear hooks. 

I think if you use more rounded beads instead of Delica, it would arrange nicely just like in the book. I must try it.

  4. Beautiful job on these and love the colors!

    I think the seed beads that I used on the book models were Czech seed beads, but I'm not sure.
