Beading & Large Lace

Oh dear, where does the time go??  I can't believe I hadn't posted since Easter!  Maybe it's because I've done very little tatting lately (standard size tatting) although I'm currently working on another large lace lamp.

In the meantime, a little beading interlude... I always enjoy making earrings and when I last visited my local bead shop, I found a few kits I fancied having a go at, also because I had some birthday gifts to make and I always like making earrings as gifts.

So here are four pairs I made, different models, different colours.  



Summer has been slow to arrive but I hope you are enjoying some sunshine and happy days wherever you are!

Best wishes,
Frivole

  2. Pretty earrings! Kits are a great way to make something you like without building an enormous stash.

  3. What a lovely tatting project! And if I'm not wrong, it seems the little aunt's square! Beautiful earrings!

    1. You're not wrong Ninetta, if you remember I checked with you and we discussed when I made my first tatted lamp a couple of years ago. The square has a slightly different stitch count (reduced a bit) so the open spaces are a bit smaller on the large lace. It's a lovely square which I like a lot! :-)

  5. Beautiful earrings, each one so unique!
    That big lace project looks really impressive! Your set-up to manage it is a good example of creative engineering.

    1. Thank you Marilee, yes, when working at that size you really need a "third hand" so I have to improvise! :-)

  6. Wieder mal sehr schöne Ohrringe. Die Beschenkten werden sich bestimmt sehr freuen und auch gerne tragen. Auch die Farben sind sehr geschmackvoll

    Liebe Grüße Joscha
