Nanduti patterns for Christmas

Creating the large circle (2.5") with knots.   Pattern is an Avati poty inspired design to make a snowflake.  I'm using DMC coton perle 12, Color 3823.  I made two of the 6 snowflake spokes.  And I'm wondering if I should make the outside rim in the same color - or use one of the greens or red.   Decisions.

Creating the large circle (2.5") with knots.   Pattern is an Avati poty inspired design to make a snowflake.  I'm using DMC coton perle 12, Color 3823.

As for the other two smaller (1.5") circles:

 I added an edge of red knots 

using DMC Coton Perle No. 8, Color 321.   This is an Arapaho Joaju pattern - made to create a ring of holiday leaf.

I added an edge of green knots using DMC Coton Perle No. 8, Col. 890 - which is similar to the Anchor evergreen color (0218).  This was on the little flower design.  The petals remind me of a french manicure.

I added some leaf designs in one circle (evergreen)

Also added petals to little flower in Red.

Both will have knot edge in either red or green / both / white???

The white larger circle is for a snowflake which I haven't started yet.

The knotting w/3823 is a challenge - pretty though.  Should be the last part of this circle.   The next circle - snowflake pattern .... stay tuned.

Tatted Icicles: Half Daisy

Drop Icicle:  Half Daisy

Pattern by Carolyn R (member of Lafayette Lacemakers).

The drop icicle is tatted with Size 20 Lizbeth (Color 601) and 2.5mm Bicone beads.    

Carolyn's patterns & kits are THE BEST.

 Side-by-side icicles.

 

Three of Carolyn's original patterns.

Tatted Icicles: Daisy

 

Drop Icicle:   Daisy

Pattern by Carolyn R (member of Lafayette Lacemakers).

Next:   Drop Icicle, Half Daisy --  kit to tat.

The drop icicle is tatted with Size 20 Lizbeth (white fiber) and beautiful beads.   

I think they are 2.5mm Bicone beads.    

Carolyn made kits which had the shuttles wound with the beads!! (yay).

Tatted Icicles: "Drop Icicle 1"

Saturday, had Tatting instruction and started an original pattern

Drop Icicle 1   (pattern called Daisy)

by Carolyn R (member of Lafayette Lacemakers).

It was/is a very nice pattern.    Excellent diagrams.   

Not much to show for the tatted project, but will continue and finish it.

I also have "Drop Icicle 2" kit to tat.

The drop icicle is tatted with Size 20 Lizbeth (white fiber) and beautiful beads, 2.5mm Bicone beads.    

Carolyn had the shuttles wound with the beads!!  Yay.  So we had more time for tatting instruction, going over the pattern, tips for the beads, adding beads to fiber, etc ... and started the piece.

For the next couple of meetings (May & June) the programs will be on Ice Drops. 

Tatted [Rings/Chains/Beads & some with split rings/beads]

and also patterns for Bobbin Lace Ice Drops. 

In addition, Bobbin Lace ornaments w/beads (I think 3 patterns).   

I saw all the designs/patterns - totally GOBSMACKED.   

We will be busy lacemakers this Spring.

Cannot wait until next meeting of the Lafayette Lacemakers.

And if you are in the neighborhood, stop in.
