The Wave earrings are done! I look forward to wearing them.
You might remember that I ran out of thread on the second earring. I had debated about starting over or adding thread to finish. I decided that I would add thread and finish what I started, that way I only had to load the remaining beads, instead of all 24.
I chose Lizbeth thread size 20, color 657, Ocean Turquoise Dark, which matches a color in one of my blouses. This time I thought ahead and chose a color that made sense with my wardrobe. Usually, I just choose a color I like on the ball, not necessarily what works with my clothes. I need to remember this! LOL!
I've been looking at this, a one shuttle pattern, and trying to decide how I could make these patriotic, as Flag Day and Independence Day are coming up soon. The earring thread in white with a large red or blue bead, then the opposite for the little beads. This combination will most likely work with any shirt I wear. Matching blues and reds can be tricky, but if it's just the beads it shouldn't be that much of a problem.
I've been tatting crosses lately, my Medallion Cross Bookmark, from 2016. I'll share them soon, once I sew in all the ends. Check back later.

Lovely! Good option to avoid having to restring all the beads.

DeleteYour patriotic earring got me thinking ... how about using 2 shuttles one with white and other with red threads and work each ring set with alternating the colour - so you have your red and white 'stripes' effect, and use blue beads throughout for the stars. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteI like that idea, muskaan. I would have to think hard on just how to string the beads. Hmm.
DeleteYour earrings look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diane!
