Besides
her original square in red, she later PM-ed her 5-arm version using the very
same stitch count! The central picot is longer, holding 5 seed beads, and each
ring is linked between 2 beads.
As already shown, these are my 3 motifs, using 3 different thread sizes …
… and
connected into a bookmark using Curled Ring Connectors (CRC).
I’ve
been having more fun with these CRCs!
These motifs made at the turn of the century, are linked together with 3-way CRCs, and a bead(s) added in center.
And
here I’ve worked the CRC in metallic thread (1 strand of embroidery thread),
using them to link sequins.
TIP : As I worked this, I
realised a better way to make the CRC. Instead of curling each ring around the element and lock joining, it is
better to tat the rings involved in the CRC (2, 3, or 4) and then curl each of
them by turn. This creates a more compact and solid connector.
Both
bracelets are finished but will be revealed at a later date.
Grazie
mille, Patty, per condividere con entusiasmo il modello
Ooh yes, I like the five arm one.
ReplyDeleteyes, it looks more like a floral motif! I still have to try it myself, Jane :-)
DeleteThese look like great fun! Thank you Patty and most of all Muskaan!!
ReplyDeleteand quick to tat, too, Mel :-)
DeleteSuch awesome projects and colors!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your sequins!!! I have never seen any like them!! :)
Years back I found these at my local stationery & gift/games vendor and bought them to play/use for my niece, Sue. Hence lots of different shapes and colours including butterflies & stars.
DeleteGrazie Muskaan per aver saputo valorizzare un mio umile lavoro .
ReplyDeletePer me una grande soddisfazione!
It was my pleasure entirely, Patty :-) Hugs
DeleteEverything is nice the square at top looks like fun 😍
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is fun and quick, Carollyn :-)
DeleteHere's hoping my comment goes through... thank you and Patty for sharing this wonderful motif! I love the square, but the five arm version really calls to me!
ReplyDeleteYes, Diane, it Is pretty! In fact I see a 3D flower if we layer it with smaller versions of the same :-)
DeleteI've been following your multi-adventures, though my commenting has become somewhat limited for want of time.
Thank you both for sharing this lovely pattern!! I think the two versions intrigue me equally, and I cannot wait to begin experimenting with them myself : D
ReplyDeleteI do hope you will show us your experiments, Emily ? 🌹
DeleteBeautiful pattern!
ReplyDeleteVery nice use of your CRCs!
Very practical those CRCs, Ninetta 😉😄😆
