| Pearl tatting, aka double sided chain |
The plan is to tat the top portion onlyof my fanciest necklace, and write up the pattern just for that much. Only the pointy collar top! Only that much!![]() |
| Original design combining tatting and beading |
Only the collar part (in dark purple in this photo) at the top, not the fancy beaded stone in the center or the rest of it. Although, the flower shapes on either side are a pattern that is already published in Marilee's Beaded Tatting Finery book as "Celtic Hexad".
So far, I've learned that when working with multiple threads, a convenient place to hide the tails is needed, and that place doesn't exist when there are core beads in the final ring!

| Attempting to hide the tails ☺ |
So, although I love the elegant look of the beaded ring, I'll plan to go with a plain ring in the final version. If it gets that far!
