Tatted spiral

I've been creating a tatted spiral, which (eventually) will be inside a clear ornament.  The pattern, Tatted Spiral Ornament, is by a member of the Lafayette Lacemakers At the last meeting, I had a better understanding of the instructions and am giving it a 'go'.   

Supplies are 28 g wire, Size 40 Lizbeth Col. 601, Miyuki #DB602 + Miyuki #DB046 Delica beads.    Silver lined Red and Silver lined Green beads.

I'm about half was thru the spiral.   Once I got the hang of it, it became easier.   Stay tuned ...

"The Lace Museum receives 5% of the sale price for each tin sold. The whole Lace Museum set is here: https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/group.html?group=22649."

I purchased a Decaf Peach blend.    (Admit to adding mint - I just like mint with my tea).    It was good!     

Such a pretty tin.    There are many blends of teas, many tins to choose from - -
