I started with a simple pattern in mind, my primary purpose was to polish my beading skills, but sometimes things don't happen as they are planned. It was a pair of single shuttle earrings I had decided to tat. I used white thread and black beads, but after a few rings I realised that there was a major mistake in the pattern. I had two options, either to convert the earring project into an edging or discard it altogether. In the midst of this conflict after a few minutes of brainstorming, a few snips, rings and joins my project started to look like this.
As I progressed I came up with these 3D earrings. They had to be blocked to retain the shape. After fixing the silver findings they are now ready to be worn.
The lower lower edge looks like this.
The aerial view is like this.
That is all for now, as I continue playing with shuttle and beads.
