Size 80 DMC green variegated tatting cotton and red seed beads -- very traditionally Christmas. This one started with the large rings at the top of the middle band. It looked too big so I added the row of small rings and chains at the top. The bottom band is more compact than the top one. After I got the wild idea to "celtic twist" the chains leading to the clover, I wished I'd done the same on the larger middle band. I made a second one doing just that, but the thread I used is an unfortunate greeny-yellow color and not nearly so attractive.
That one didn't make the cut for mailing -- it's hanging on our Christmas tree.I don't have a written pattern for this one, because every time I make it I change something. I like it, though, so need to get it at least diagrammed.
