Here’s a trial of the pendant that Marilee designed to go
with the earrings. It's from the same book, Tatting with Beads Jewelry. I rather like it!
The large pale beads are difficult to photograph. They are acrylic
8mm beads that I cut from a necklace I’ve had for ages. I never wore it as it
was too plastic looking. I thought framing them with thread would help, but
dark thread just made them look even more plastic. Same color thread looks
better, but I’ve realized I don’t like how shiny the beads look. It’s not a
glass shiny, it’s a plastic shiny. Ah well. I can say I’ve got the pattern down
now. I really do like it!
With Holy Week next week, I likely will not be posting.
Sitting at the computer never is relaxing. I cannot risk activity that leaves my
back and shoulders tense and sore. Back the following week with more fun!
