Beaded Pendant

 
It is called Cathedral Window on pg 13 of this Japanese book - A new approach to Tatting by Yusai Shokonin. I have had this book for sometime now but never attempted any of the patterns until now. I used Lizbeth Size 40 #607 Charcoal medium and #168 Latte Foam.  I did not like how the block tatting shaped up. Perhaps I could have blocked it differently. There were too many beads in the pattern for my liking.

The beads I used are Toho Size 11. There are plenty of pretty colours to choose from, inexpensive but the beads are not as uniform as Miyuki Delica beads.

    Love you the colours you used

    The charcoal one... fabbo!

    I agree with about the bead. Somehow, for me, the more inexpensive beads just do not have the pleasing look of the better quality ones.

    I think this design looks great. However, I know what you mean about beads that are not uniform, sometimes you can get away with using them but obviously not on this pattern.

    They look great (with a slight preferance of the one on the left).

    Very nice pattern! I guess it's true what they say about 'you get what you pay for' after all. I still think these both look really nice
