A revival of an earlier pattern and more...

I had created these earring a few months back and named them "Victoria". I revived this pattern by adding lots of gold beads and a few minor yet significant changes. Now they look  very dressy and  eye-catching.


These earrings actually look better than the photographs I have taken.

 
Its the rainy season in India nowadays, with lots of slush and abundant greenery everywhere.  So  there is  more green, a different shade no doubt,  in sync with the the season, a pendant set tatted in aqua green with green and metallic beads.




The same with a tatted cord necklace.


 
That is all for now.

Earrings Designed in Progression

I have not been around for some time. It is because I have been feeling run down and low. The  good part is that I have been tackling my health problems and doing that successfully. Tatting is always extremely important. If I am not tatting I am collecting thread and beads or drawing my patterns, browsing on the internet and generally keeping in touch.

I am now on Etsy selling some earrings. These earrings were made using the same basic concept and by incorporating a few changes as I went along, I came up with these variations. I  added different types of beads and experimented with beading techniques in the process.

I started with a split ring pattern with rings on the second half of the split. This pattern has 3 inner split rings. I added some Miyuki Delicas beads in lemon and blue and finished off with sterling silver ear hooks. These are called Stylish Floral Earrings.


I tried the same pattern in a solid color. The layout of the bead has also been changed.


I varied this pattern by adding another inner split ring, that makes 4 split rings in total and came up with these Beaded Floret Earrings. A size 8 amethyst colored bead  has added in between the two split rings.


The square shape in any form or size attracts me. As I progressed I came up with he next variation of this design, a square. The inner color of both the earrings is a different because I used variegated thread. These are the Square Party Earrings


The Square Party Earrings tatted in medium grape and gold, embellished with square Miyuki beads.


That is all for now. I hope you enjoyed this post.
