If you love tatted lace, jewellery, plants and anything handcrafted, come back often. I will regularly post items that are made by me, plants that I grow and interesting things that I photograph.

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.

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