Now to tat the thread I custom dyed yesterday. Mother-of-the-groom gave me small, sparkly beads to use. They're a rather odd shape, like two seed beads fused together. I started off with my usual stitch count, but I didn't like how it looked:
I reduced the size of the rings from 8-8 to 6-6 and did an extra row of rings (well, two extra rows, strictly speaking). I think that works a lot better for the small beads.
They look fabulous!!! :)
ReplyDeleteEin schöner Ohrschmuck, ich kann mit gut vorstellen wie sie bei Licht funkeln.

Those are unusual beads. I sure am glad you were able to incorporate them in to your beautiful earrings!
ReplyDeleteI get what you are saying and love the dye color. maybe just put the bead on outside of the outer rings only ?
ReplyDeleteYour entire array of earrings in a previous post look very appealing ! This one has been on my list from Day 1 .
ReplyDeleteLove the pastel shade of this hand-dyed thread !
