Plain Jane Project Side Pieces

Olde West Inspiration

Good morning, dear readers!

I have a confession- yesterday was VERY productive in the Atelier.  Three new OOAK design prototypes worked out exactly as I had them in my head & I started making them with Valdani Luxury Pearl Silk.  The bad news is I did not get as far with the next step in the Plain Jane Project as I had planned.  Sorry about that, but the creative juices were flowing and I could not afford to ignore the ideas in my head.

 

Now, if you wish, you may attach the accent drop featured yesterday on the main focal piece of the Plain Jane Project and be done with it- OR if you wish, continue with me on this tat-along as Plain Jane will be transformed into a necklace.  After I finish designing and posting Plain Jane, I plan to transform her into Lady Jayne!  Then you, dear readers, can do the same with your own ideas and such.

 

Anyway, this is how I am starting the two side pieces:

 

 

These ICRs will form a chain on each side of the focal point.  I'm not sure how many for each side yet, but will post the exact number on Monday.  Of course, each tatter may wish to adjust the number of ICRs to make a necklace to her/his preferred length.  The counts are:

ICR 11 very small- 11 CL

ICR 11 followed by 3 very small -s 11 CL

ICR 11 very small - 11 CL

ICR 11 followed by 3 very small -s 11 CL

Tie, hide ends & cut.

 

For the next ICR motif:

ICR 11 + 11 CL

ICR 11 followed by 3 very small -s 11 CL

ICR 11 very small - 11 CL

ICR 11 followed by 3 very small -s 11 CL

Tie, hide ends & cut.

 

Continue with these counts until you have two side pieces that are the length you require.  I will be posting more specific details and instructions on Monday.

 

Well, I have more work to do on Plain Jane and those OOAK pieces are still calling me.  May you all have a fabulous weekend full of creativity!  Until Monday~

Happy Tatting!
