Interlocking Earrings 15/25 motif challenge

 Hi,
Do you remember this little play piece of interlocking rings that several of us were playing with some weeks ago
Well I liked my play piece and made it into earrings,  its a  simple pattern and I think it makes a nice pair of earrings,   I did eight rings interlocking in a circle and then an outer chain with small rings with silver seed beads on the rings.  I know it was a just a simple pattern but so far everyone seems to like them.  I used Lizbeth thread,   Peacock blues no 20.

close up of the pattern,   
These earrings will be in my Esty store when I get back.
I have some more ideas to play with the interlocking rings,  I do like them and now I have mastered them I can extend more on the patterns.

I hope you are keeping well 
Until we meet again take care

Interlocking Rings and a Bracelet (11 of 25)

Hi,
Yesterday was a golden day for Great Britain so I am writing this in gold just to prove I am enjoying the Olympics I never thought I would but I have enjoyed the things we don't see normally,   the Show Jumping,  the Bicycle racing in the Velodyne,  Canoeing and the Rowing.  I was made to feel very homesick when they did the road racing,  I grow up in Surrey,  and lived not far from Box Hill,  and then in Kingston upon Thames,  if they have gone just 200 more yards up the road before they turned off to go into Richmond Park I would have seen my old home and I could have shown Vernon.  Kingston has changed a bit since I lived there but I was able to see bits I knew though my childhood. Don't get me wrong I would not want to live up there now and commute into the City of London, I think I will stay in Somerset.  10 Gold medals so far,  at least they have put the Great back into Great Britain.
The weather is not good we have very heavy thundery showers with a little sun popping out here and there,   Oh it would be nice if the summer would come back.
Today I have the Interlocking rings,  yes I have got it,  not perfect but its there, I used Lizbeth no 20 Raspberry Frappe but its come out purple,  I think it has to be the bad light when I took the photo. I put a chain with little rings on the outside so the rings could be seen better.  I feel a few new designs popping out of this,   I am going to try the interlocking chain,  when I have time
 I am making a few bits for the show I have been asked to demonstrate tatting on the 19th August,  at Shepton Mallet.    I hope the weather will be kind to us at the show.

 This is the bracelet from Marilee's course called Classic Edge, its a nice design but I don't have much no 10 thread, so I used one of my favourite threads, this is Altin Basak (Turkish) number 3054 its a bit finer than Lizbeth, so I had to do a few more rings on the pattern. There are three beads on the chains which I used pink seed beads. I am at present making another one in Lizbeth thread blue with gold beads and I will show that one when I have finished it.






A close up,  this is number 11 of the 25 Motif challenge




I hope you are having a lovely weekend and enjoying the Olympics,  pity the weather can't behave but that's the British weather for you.
Until we meet again take care
