That is about the same pattern of the ball (http://ninettacaruso.blogspot.com/2015/11/romper-suits-for-ball.html), rings and chains are 6-6 instead of 8-8. I also added floating rings to reach the top. Thread is dmc Diamant 100% polyester, D5200. That is sold in spool of 35meters, only sufficient to tat two pairs, or better... one pair good and one pair prototype!
Polyester is plastic, isn't it? It stands up even without the glass ball inside...
That has been the first time that I needed pliers to hide the end!
Ciao,

Dear Reader,
I share here what I like and what works for me. If you've been following me, you know that I can change my mind from time to time, and feel free to comment that I'm completely wrong, you may be right. I'm not running a business. I'm not paid and have never received any compensation or facilitation for any review/brand/site here mentioned. In case one day we'll ever meet, I'll be the one offering you a cup of Italian coffee, too.

Very Beautiful, you are talented, I have used pliers as well but a balloon works too, grips well and won't dent up the needle. Sometimes the balloon to protect and then pliers :) P.S. I really like your one of your Christmas Tree pattern and am having a hard time locating it on flicker could you help me :)
ReplyDeleteTy I'll try it, great tip! About trees: there are only 2 patterns, in the menu bar, select the patterns' page an follow the link for the set in flickr. My favourite is this one: https://farm7.staticflickr.com/6120/6301322339_dfc300fc68_b.jpg
