Remember
how I couldn’t introduce you to Goldilocks since she was already in bed?
The
wait is over. Meet Goldilocks and her friend, Elana!
Well, opposites attract
again (see comments here)! Gold / silver; tiny / large; warm / cool; quick project / long project; AND our two friendly designers
from different hemispheres!
Goldilocks
is actually Ninetta’s Valentine earrings shared here.
Closing
the spiral ring using metallic thread was a tad dicey. Anyway, after making it
with single shuttle, I switched the shuttle thread to regular cotton size 20,
using gold for the visible stitches.
Lenka
shared some nice pics on how to add beads in spiral rings. Do check out her beautiful applications of the spiral rings.
Red
Rose metallic gold size 20 & Anchor size 20. size 16 seed bead &
crystal teardrop.
2+
cms across & 3+ cms long without teardrop.
And
I wanted to stick with blue and white. This is actually my 2nd
attempt; the first being left aside after 4 repeats for 2 reasons. But read
what happened in next post here. (Update)
Notice
the missing chain in first round? I used the double ring & chain sequence.
And the rings on the back are 5-5-5.
I
used bead as picot gauge method to load bead with a crochet hook only when it was time to link. Yet the small Pony shuttle bobbin had to be loaded
twice.
Adjacent
Ankars motifs are slightly tightly packed with some overlap – perhaps my seed
bead was too large?
But
I love how it looks despite the thick white thread! And finally another struck
off the unending list
Blue
glass gem - 2¼ cms x ½ cm high. The pebble is not absolutely clear but has
shaken snowglobe effect. Anchor
white 20. 3½" diameter
2 projects, but so many techniques have been incorporated! My knid of tatting ;-P
And now
that I have my beads and gems out, there are a couple more projects queued ;-D
Oh good, I love seeing my patterns being used! I like Goldilocks too.
