I had so much fun making the other
necklaces, I decided to make another one. This time, I used a non-metallic thread. I had picked up some cute glass leaves that I wanted to hang from the necklace. Doing it in white was tempting, but I decided that white thread for a necklace was just asking for trouble. Ecru ended up being the color I used and once again I used the necklace pattern in Lyn Morton's book, "
Tatting Patterns." The pattern has now become so familiar to me that it tatted up quickly. Instead of attaching the flower motif at the bottom by a single picot, I attached it to two picots. The glass leaves hang very nicely from it and make a cool tinkling sound as well. For the closure, I skipped the traditional jewelry clasps I used on the gold necklaces and used one of the leaves and a chained loop.
This necklace ended up looking very pretty and I just couldn't help but try it on myself. Despite my love for it, I knew I needed to list it in my
Etsy shop. I should probably move on to another pattern soon.
