Ecru Pendant Prototype Event

Shabby Vintage
Good morning, dear readers!
 
Here is the little pendant I tatted on Memorial Day.  I used 12 wt. Sulky thread in ecru and antique glass seed beads that I painstakingly picked off an old beaded bag.  The center accent is a sand colored button pearl with a single seed bead perched atop it.
 
 
This is just a prototype for a design I plan to offer in the Atelier Shoppe this Autumn.  I have already expanded the design and added additional rounds on another prototype.  The second prototype I did using Valdani Luxury Pearl Silk.  You'll have to wait until the entire design collection is debuted to view it, though!
 
This is an image of the beginning of prototype one-
 
 
Then I expanded it a tiny bit-
 
 
So, what do you think?  Do you like the new design? 
 
You know what???  I am in the mood to do a give away event.  If you would like to win this little pendant, please leave a comment on this blog post.  The winner will be chosen via random number generator early Friday morning.  The winner has until the following Monday to contact me or another winner will be selected, again via random number generator.  Good luck, and remember to leave a comment before Friday morning, May 31st, 2013!
 
Rosie Fey is ready for her walk, so we're off.  Have a great day & until tomorrow~
Happy Tatting!

  20. The turquoise is beautiful with the ecru. I wouldn't have thought of combining the two colours, but they go together very well. The pattern is nice, too.
