This little motif was just what I needed to busy my hands last night - getting back into the groove. A simple picot and chain trim with beads filled the bill.
The tatting is really pretty with the beads! I love the Oriental heart, too. That piece really was inspiring! The little wreath at the bottom of the other heart is a good one, too. Bullion flowers.
Lovely tatting. Typically the beads are added to the picots, but it looks from the picture as if they were added to the core thread. That's an interesting treatment.

You do such great work with tatting. Hope one day I can do as good.
