Ninetta's Stacked Rings
With shuttles and beads handy after yesterday's pearl tatting experiments, it was a good time to try out Ninetta's stacked rings with beads. It would take a bit of practice to get it looking good, but I think I have it. Watching Ninettta's video definitely helped.
God's Kid Sue suggested using the technique to make something similar to the crochet beaded ropes I've been making. It might be possible to do it using a technique with chains perhaps, but I think having that many beads on a shuttle would be impractical. Or am I just being feeble?

I spent entire yesterday trying to get a beaded cord with my stacked SR method. Experiments, tweaks, untatting, retro tatting , stringing beads, ugh!!! Without the right match of materials and tools, it can be a nightmare !
ReplyDeleteHats off to you 🎩🎩🎩
No hats off to me, I just used Ninetta’s method!
DeleteI was complimenting you on your heavily beaded crochet cords. And y'day I struggled with my method - haven't tried Nin's yet (both methods are similar as stack rings and stacked split rings)
DeleteAh, thanks very much!
DeleteI'll have to watch the video to get a full understanding of how this is done. Your effort looks great!
ReplyDeleteI struggled to understand until I watched the video.
DeleteFeeble is not a word that comes to mind when I think of you! Would a big shuttle like a Tatsy inspire you? If they aren’t available in South Africa or you don’t have one already , I have a spare, I could send you.
ReplyDeleteI have got one, thanks for the offer!
DeleteWasn't sure if it could be done, but Ninetta's made me think of yours. ;)
ReplyDeleteThose look pretty to me!! :)
I have been thinking about this bracelet all last night!
ReplyDeleteGreat effect of Ninetta's, especially off-setting the rings. Are you aware that Teri Dusenbury stacked rings in the 1990s? If you can find her book of Butterflies (Dover publication) you'll see stacked butterflies.
ReplyDeleteOh that’s interesting, no I didn’t know that. Did you let Ninetta know?
DeleteLooks good, I like this new idea and will be trying it too
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for tatting that, it's few beads compared with your crochet ropes, still a nice effect!
