This week the Tatting Newsletter from BellaOnline.com had directions for an antique pattern from Anna Valeire Book #3. The directions were updated to make it possible to make the entire motif without tying off when partially done. This is done with self-closing mock rings (SCMR).
The picture shows 2 that I made last eve. It's been awhile since I'd done a SCMR and had to start over when doing my first one. After that, the tatting went smoothly. I added seed beads to the open picots on the 2nd motif. Both of these were made with DMC Cebelia size 20 thread. These motifs measure 2" across. I'm going to use these as snowflakes but these would make cute earrings if made with a smaller thread.
