JS Piece

Making some progress on my Jan Stawasz project.  I started on the first round of split rings... then realised I had attached my last medallion the wrong way up!  I'm now remaking the medallion before I can proceed and finish the split ring round.



I'm slightly regretting my choice of thread at the moment... not the colour but the thread itself.  It's DMC Babylo, a thread I normally enjoy using but not this time.  I'm finding it hard to make my rings and chains really even and I now wish I'd used a thread with more body like Lizbeth.

It's going to be a nice large piece as it already measures 12in across.  

Best wishes,
Frivole

    Ah, it IS the green one I had imagined... This is beautiful and your tatting is impeccable, as always. Love it. I might just have to attempt this one next... Which book?

      Thank you! Can't remember off the top of my head which book... I just make a photocopy and work off that. I'll come back and add the info. :-)

    12 inches is a lot of intricate beautiful tatting, each medallion must be quite small.?
