Description
I know it's been a lifetime since I posted, but my life has been pretty busy, both good and bad - my grandfather died last year, I got my master degree, got a new hobby (biking), got a new job, and a few small things, and everything kept me busy.I plan to get back into drawing, have a few sketches, but nothing finished. So far I;m playing with some handmade techniques, the newest one being tatting.
This is the only bracelet I finished so far, along with a bookmark and 5 pairs of earrings.
I might upload some of the earrings later.

No problem, I understand. I used starch, mixed with water and heated a bit, put the piece in the mixture and then squeezed the excess and pus it on a flat surface. I used some pins to stretch it and keep it in shape. Hope you understand, if not I can try and find a tutorial.

so beautiful. How do you get the bracelet so stiff? I mean, it is wool!

Excuse the late message. It's not wool, it's multi thread cotton and it is a bit stiff to begin with. To get the bracelet to stay even stiffer, I block it with a mixture of water and starch.

Unfortunately I don't have the time do write a proper pattern but it's pretty simple - two rings (8-2-8 I think) joined, then a chain (I made mine too short - they should be 16 or 18 DS) and it's repeated for the length. Then you make a longer chain (I don't remember how long mine was and don't have the bracelet anymore) enough to go to the other side and start again, but join the rings to the upper rings as well. It's a very common pattern so I am sure you can find it somewhere. I actually used a photo and reproduced it.

This is so pretty and delicate @_@ I'd totally wear it, except "pretty and delicate" doesn't suit me

Thank you so much
And yes, I know what it's like to really like something, but just to see on someone else
I am planning on doing some black though, see how that turns out.

Cred ca poza e mai profi decat bratara, care e plina de greseli, dar mai incercam. Si la poza mi-am pierdut interesul.
Si eu ma bucur ca am timp sa mai trec pe aici
