Because I used size 20 thread rather than the size 80 that Marie used, I used a stitch count of 4 instead of 5. Here's how I added the beads:
4 beads on back of the hand, Ring 4+4, move 3 beads from back of hand and 1 bead from shuttle, 4-4, Close, trapping the 4th bead. Reverse work.
Move 2 beads from ball thread and 1 bead from shuttle into place.
Ch: 4, move 3 beads from ball, 1 bead from shuttle, 4. Reverse work.
Thanks Marie!
I looked closely at your tatting -- the 4 beads in the ring and chains junction is where you did it differently. There is only 1 bead (not 2) on the picot, and 1 each at end and start of chains, on core thread.
ReplyDeleteIrrespective, it still looks lovely !
Thanks muskaan. Marie doesn’t explain her bead placement, so I did wonder if I was doing something different to her. Effect is much the same, which just goes to show there’s more than one way of doing things!
ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome Jane!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI started it last night and when I got to the "diamond" of beads at the base of the ring I was flustered trying to figure it out also. You at least have a finished snowflake, I have a very small start. ;)
Still looks wonderful. You would have to look closely to see the bead placement isn't quite there, but at a quick glance it looks perfect. I love the colors you chose. This will be gorgeous on your tree. Hope this was a good challenge.
ReplyDeleteOh so you and God's Kid are working on same thing I will have to check out this snowflake!
ReplyDeleteGreat tatting and bead placement. I may need to try this one.
