Last week there was someone in the church foyer selling a selection of knitted scarfs and jewellery she had made, she was raising money for herself and for the pre-school which meets in the church hall. The pendants she had made were primarily of beads and were hanging on long chains. Um, I thought, they remind me of aborted earrings that I started ages ago. I looked for the single green earring I had made, and eventually found it. Part of the reason I was reticent in making the other one was because it looked rather large. So I put it on a chain and it looks much better now, and so I proceeded to make another two pendants.
The original idea for this design was from an earring pattern on Jane's blog. We have a Christmas Fayre coming up soon and I am going to see if they will sell along with some other tatted items.

You could also make them into phone dangles - they're popular too. I hang my 'single' earrings (ones like yours that never get married!) to my handbag too. Those are so pretty. The blue one is really lovely.
ReplyDeleteThese lovely creations would make great scissor fobs too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane and Isdihara, obviously if they don't sell they can be re-cycled/reused into something else!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely design Sally!!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful!!!

they really are pretty, and I agree, they could be used for lots of little fob's on several little things, at walmart and other places they sell the little fob chains, and you can attach them right to those :D for phones, purses, keyrings, or anything :) they really are very pretty :) put a small cherry sized ornament in them and hang on mini trees for the holidays too :)
ReplyDeleteThey look great!
ReplyDeleteThese are SO beautiful and unique!!! I believe these will sell immediately!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about The metallic 'bell cap' at the top of the main bead. It seems to be attached to the bead, but somehow you can attach the tatting to it!
Oooh...I love this idea! I'm much more likely to wear something tatted like this than tatted earrings or even an entire tatted necklace. I prefer the feel of a chain against my skin. (oops...that sounds kinky and that wasn't what I meant at all!!!)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful I am sure they will sell, like you say they can be re-cycled if they dont.
