I was so excited and wanted to add beads to this bird, I think I invented a new technique.

| Wanting to tat Jane's Peacock found here click on Jane Eborall's Tatted Animals Page it was so small and cute, and really wanted to add a bead to center, for the eye in the feather! Instructions as follows, find your center picot (I added extra picot to pattern for center one) or double stitch, and with bead on crochet hook add a bead to the chain shuttle thread that you normally leave, while making the ring, and pull out enough thread to make loop large enough to pass shuttle through Wa-La |
 |
| continue on with ring and close and tighten up the chain thread :) |
 |
| By the way this is Marilee's thread color parakeet size 40 click here to go to her blog and then her Etsy shop. I rushed making the pattern and changing it messed it up a bit. But I love it and sewed it down to felt added a little bit of embroidery.  |
Fabulous colors and I love how you added the beads to make the center of the feathers!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I think every one loves that about peacock feathers and thought there should be one :)
ReplyDeleteLovely peacock and great way to add the bead!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ninetta :)
DeleteGood idea to add beads,makes a lovely peacock. I'm surprised how well your technique works because I would've thought it would distort the chain. Shows it's a good idea to try things! Hats off to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks I will use this again, and it is good for the chain cause it kind of centers instead of leaving a space or a whole, it's great.
DeleteVery beautiful this work Carollyn! I like it so much! I think it's true your last words!
