it is made with size 80 dmc tatting thread and a #10 steel hook

it has been shipped off to a friend that is a jeweler and the is going to make it a pendant and then create a necklace for my sister... i'll post a pic when it's finished... several weeks, i''m sure

[deneen]

I admire your skill Rebecca! What a neat idea that is

[Knittykim]

gosh...I am still trying to figure out HOW to do flowers like that in worsted, much less trying it in tatting thread. cheers to you :cheer

[mythunderbird]

rebecca, i love that flower and the fact it is going to be made into a necklace is even better. your very talented and have way more patience that me, i hate working with thread that fine, is almost like crocehting with sewing thread.:eek :eek :eek you did a great job:hug :hug vicki

[tezen]

WOW I love it. And to think I find size 10 challenging lol

[jaclim]

Wow, Rebecca! I am in awe with your patience! I tried crocheting a hanky edging before with sewing thread then gave up on it. I'll try again using 3 strands of sewing thread. :-))))

once it is received by the jeweler, i'll get her opinion on that. i'll post pictures of it as a necklace as soon as i can. she is in Vegas right now at some bead market or something :P i can't wait to see what new designs she comes up with :c9

[MaryPat]

The flower is so pretty and making it into a pendant is even better. Will it be dipped into something to make it stiff and hold its shape?
