It's so lovely, it can be also a lanyard or a necklace and it can also be embellished with beads and also you may like to change the cross' pattern. Many thanks to Jeanne Lugert for this beautiful design, she is also the designer of the beautiful roses that I've tatted many times, for example here: lilliputian rose.
I've also watched last video by Karen Cabrera, showing prayer beads, it's an intriguing technique, it also seems very useful for jewellery or key chains or wherever you like a tatted charm. Many thanks, Karen!
This is my version of Jeanne Lugert's rosary, with the beads covered in tatting:

Actually, I did little changes. My beads are quartz, 6mm ∅, and they are slippery, so I've tatted flowers of 4 rings of 5ds, -join to previous-, 5ds, picot, 5ds, picot, 5ds.
Then, in place of tatting the flowers "detached" (as showed in Karen's video), I've tatted them with one of the 2 shuttles and substituted last ring with a split ring. In order to stabilise the bead, I've passed the other shuttle's thread through between the second and third ring. Sorry, I think my description is not so clear, maybe I should share a video too.

For the rosary, I substituted the lock stitch chain with a spiral chain:
I realised that the lanyard can be tatted starting from the junction, that is where the pattern has a big ring. But I had to change that big ring with 2 rings, that is one is the starting ring, then I tatted the lanyard and came back to that point tatting the second ring:
That is the junction:

Very pretty! May I ask what thread you used for the project?
ReplyDeleteOh yes and sorry, I forgot to write that!
DeleteFinca light gold (Hilo Metalizado, 1000mts, Presencia Hilaturas), double strand, 35% Polyester and 65% Viscose. I wound together two strands in two shuttles CTM.
Thanks! I’ve just started trying metallic threads and that’s why I was curious :)
