Reverse Mimosas

Hello!  It's been a little while since I posted.  Thank you so much for all the lovely comments on my previous post about the butterfly doily.  I was definitely pleased to be finished with that one.

I have not tatted very much in the last couple of weeks, only making a tiny bit of progress on this Jan Stawasz piece:


It's a little bit crumpled as it's been living in a bag and carried about a lot.  I plan to make this larger but I don't know how large yet. 

Today I found one earring that didn't have a twin so I decided to make the second one so I could wear them (they happened to match a sweater I'm sporting today).  And then it occurred to me to try them upside down and I think they're nice that way too.  So that's the way I'm wearing them now.  The weight of the pearls at the bottom instead of at the top gives them nice movement when worn.


So there you go, reversible earrings!

Best wishes,
Frivole

    Wow, very practical earrings - 2 for 1 ;-) I think they look very natural in this position.

    Your mat is spectacular !

    I am wearing these same earrings in burgundy, and I get a lot of attention from people, which I don't dislike. Encore merci!

    Good progress on the JS Doily.
    Lovely design of the earrings. My first thought is that it is the obvious way for the earrings to hang, until I read the reversible part.

    This doily is already beautiful.
    Very nic earrings. I love the color. Like others, I thought it was the normal way for them to hang until I read your description. Neat!

    Lovely earrings. So they have removable ear hooks? Clever.

    The doily/mat is lovely, especially with the zig-zag edge. It would make a nice tablecloth.
    You are right about the earrings, sometimes good things come from experimenting with patterns.

    I like them that direction (earrings). slowly but surely, you will finish your Jan piece.
