I wanted to make a new pair of earrings for my daughter. She does like my tatted earrings and wears some frequently so I thought it would be nice to come up with a new design for her. I decided to use a plastic ring for the centre to give the earrings more stability and weight, and to help them keep their shape when worn. I drew an incredibly quick sketch (you can see how dreadful it looks!) and then just started tatting. The pink version is the first one I made to test the idea and then I made the burgundy pair (one of her favourite colours).
(sorry, evening photos, lighting not very good)
Yes, I think I'm happy with those.
It's late evening now so I'll look forward to seeing them on her ears tomorrow!
Best wishes,
Frivole
Fabulous earrings!!! :)

They are lovely and I'm sure your daughter's friends will be envious. I've often wondered how to cover a ring. Perhaps you could show me at our next Tatting Day?
ReplyDeleteI sure can Linda! :-)
