More Earrings!

This set is earrings and a pendant I'll hand on a silver chain. This set is for me and I'll enjoy them!

I've had the beads for quite awhile but didn't know for sure what I'd do with them. They have a hand painted look to them and I thought they were pretty unique. The beads are about an inch in size. Last night I decided to use them for earrings and a pendant. I used a variegated blue thread size 8 perle cotton and teal colored glass seed beads which I put on each picot. 

The pattern I used was one I had on my iPad and is by Nancy Price.  It is titled "Instructions for Blue and White Tatted Earrings". 

Tatted Flower Earrings and Bracelet Set

I already had these little flowers made. I modeled the beaded earrings after directions by Julie Patterson. After I had the earrings done, I decided to also make a bracelet. I used the same colored beads strung on elastic cord and added another little flower. These will be a gift. I think the recipient will enjoy wearing them.  

Tatted Earrings

2 pair of earrings that I tatted and sent to my granddaughter. Just in time for Valentine's Day and St Patrick's Day.  

Both are made with #70 tatting cotton and seed beads. The shamrocks are made from a pattern published 3/9/12 at:

The hearts are from a pattern I had from designer Christina Banyard. I added beads to all the picots and between every 2 stitches of the center ring. The exception was putting 3 beads on the picot at the bottom of the heart.
