I have Marilee's book "Boutique Tatting" and it's one of my favorite. I wanted to make the necklace that is on the cover but I didn't have to many beads in the color scheme I selected, so I made a variation of it; doing only one repetition. I love it!!! I had to make a few minor variations so I was able to make it in one pass.
Here is a closeup of the main part of the necklace. This is definitively one of my favorites now. I need to buy more beads in amber tones so I can make another. I'm thinking also in earrings to complete the set.
I used Aunt Lydia's #10 in ecru. The beads are from Walmart, size E and the deep amber seed beads were a gift from Aileen Chia.
That is a lovely version of Marilee's lovely necklace! Nice work. Marilee's "boutique tatting" is one of my faves, too!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteI like this variation. "less" is sometimes better, IMO, than more and I think you've still shown the design nicely.
