The absence of tatting on this blog doesn't mean I haven't been tatting. I've just been tatting things some people who read this blog shouldn't be seeing until after the holidays. This jewelry set (two earrings and a pendant) is for someone I don't know. My sister's co-worker loved her "mom earrings" (the ones with the nylon hooks). She requested earrings and a pendant for her sister-in-law who's just had a baby. She wanted earrings just like the ones I made for her (except in blue), so I had to come up with something pendant-looking that matched. I'm not too certain this is it. My sister's going to take them in and see what she thinks.I made a draft without beads and it worked, so I added the beads, now some of the rings overlap a bit. If the pendant is too weird, I'll make something smaller. This pendant is about 2.5 inches long and 1.25 inches wide. The earrings are about an inch wide. These are all made with Oren Bayan multi-colored metallic thread and sizes 15 and 10 seed beads -- there are 94 size 15 beads and 12 size 10 beads on each earring. The pendant has 206 size 15 beads and 8 size 10.
This picture is from the scanner, that's why the six ring flower in the center of the lower ring of the pendant is blurred. I might get better results with my camera, but it's such a hassle.

How is the Oren Bayan to tat with on the ring? Does it slip?
Gorgeous! Double clicking the photos shows the beautiful detail! I've never used Oren Bayan thread, but it certainly is effective!
I can't imagine anyone NOT loving these! And they could easily be 'winners' at the Fair!
Marty, these look awesome and grand! I love them. Oh, the metallic thread's very pleasing with the blue beads. WOW.
Those are gorgeous! I know she will love them-- and if she doesn't, you could always send them my way! (Kidding!)
Lovely, they look really grand and wow with the metallic thread you used they are going to shine out. Love the beads Margaret
That is a beautiful set! I wonder where I put those rings?
These are beautiful. Love the colour of the beads - very effective.

The beads and the threads really compliment each other. The recipient is going to be thrilled.
She LOVES them and is really excited to give them to her sister-in-law!
Very elegant looking! :)
