wear me roundup 2

 Continuing from the first batch of jewellery models that were made by our talented participants for the #WearMeEndrucks May2023 game in our FB group  (https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2023/07/wearme-roundup-1.html), here are more models. Some are beautiful new adaptations, some are tatted from existing patterns, and some are newly derived patterns! It has become almost a given that every game throws up a few new variations and patterns to add to our directories. 

6. Lella Loops - a needle tatter par excellence!

E34 - Beaded Pendant derived from the center of the doily.

7. Lea Di Palma - another frequent E-tatter! This time she sent in this elegant version a few days back.

E12 - Bracelet with Coin Beads

8. Margaret Davies - loves to adapt and tweak patterns each time she participates and this time she converted her heart motifs into earrings.  https://margaretsdesignercards.blogspot.com/ 

E37 - Enlarged Heart earrings

9. Meenakshi (Muskaan) Jain - I extracted a small motif from doily #28 and tatted a prototype pendant (or earring) and then tweaked the count and included beads for the game.   

E28 - pendant prototype (new pattern)

E28 - Crown Jewels Pendant/earrings (new pattern)

E28 - E28 Heart (new pattern)

The pendant/earring clearly showed a heart in its design and I merely needed to enhance the heart shape.

E1, E3, E28, E37 - bracelet, earrings, pendants.

Only one was tatted for the game, but I took a collective pic of some of the beaded jewellery I've tatted from Endrucks.

10. Nancy Moore - our new member had an interesting visualization ....  

E7 - Beaded Edging for Queen of Hearts costume

In her own words - 

"This is the pattern I will start with. I am making a Queen of Hearts costume this year and this will be perfect for the lace edging. Thank you for creating the English pattern and posting it.

This is the 2nd attempt. I want the finished lace to look like a row of queen’s heads. I like the gold thread but I think the seed beads at the top will be clear glass and I want to insert red glass faceted beads on the “crown” as well. They have been ordered and if they don’t fit, I will have to adjust the pattern. It is hard to find tiny faceted beads!"

We look forward to the completed edging and the costume!

E8 - Earrings "Trust You"

11. Ninetta Caruso - couldn't participate with a new model but her 3D earrings are timeless!  

E8 - Earrings "Trust You" (2020)

12. Sally Biggers - has been creating new derivatives or adaptations and sharing the patterns as well! This time is was a pendant but she noticed a couple of mistakes and tatted a second model. 

E10 - Beaded Pendant (new pattern)

This is what she says - 

"As my #wearmeEndrucks challenge for May, 2023, I have created a pendant using Lisbeth Metallic Thread #325 (Gem Stone), a single Precosia 3 x 4 mm faceted Crystal bead and 10 silver lined crystal beads (11/0) around the edge of the motif.

I modified Pattern #10 from Frau Endrucks' book"

E10 - Beaded Pendant (new pattern)

And here's a TIP from Sally - 

"Metallic thread was used in this pattern because I enjoy the bling it gives to earrings and pendants. Metallic threads are made from synthetic fibers so they don't absorb oils from the body, and don't tend to become discolored the way cotton and other threads will with wear."

So this is the second batch of models and experiences. Patterns can be found in the Jewellery Directory - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ns-C3xQq4CA1tjZwGxFIyKWelLJbqwXJ/view  and in the main EP doc - https://docs.google.com/document/d/17LEVftXweztBIOWh4sL4BB7bX65ssoOsOn4oXIgCepY/view

A third and final batch will be posted soon.

Again, we can't thank our participants enough for all their enthusiasm and work!
