I think I just need to make up my mind that it's ok to to have a 2-level edging and get on with it! :)<br /><br />I checked out your blog and some of your bells...you are so creative, I'm not sure my brain would have made the connection to turn an edging into a bell...what a great idea!!!<br /><br />I like the idea about the styrofoam bell form; I'm headed to the States soon, maybe I'll hunt one up. Thanks for the suggestions and feedback!! :)Mrs. Finkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05821513098662287624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8790815654275899841.post-60880883464090198082014-05-31T03:14:31.868-07:002014-05-31T03:14:31.868-07:00Gracias, Grace :) Or, I guess I should say, спасиб...Gracias, Grace :) Or, I guess I should say, спасибо. :) New post today!Mrs. Finkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05821513098662287624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8790815654275899841.post-7637521514162147862014-05-29T18:58:30.250-07:002014-05-29T18:58:30.250-07:00Kristen!!!

I agree with Madtat...You certainly have been busy! I agree with Madtatter80 about the 'netted' edge or rows of rings to 'stretch' the measurement. My suggestion for an edging is Mary Konior's Maids of Honour, in her Visual Patterns book.. In size 30 it is an inch wide, so in 20 it would be wider. It's such an attractive edge. And speaking of bells, I used that edge successfully in a bell I created back in 1996 which I showed recently on my blogpost of January 9. I combined it with her 'beauty spots' edge (from the same book) which wouldn't work on a 'flat piece of Maids of Honour but worked out beautifully around the 'middle' of the bell. Mary even provides a corner for the Maids of Honour. It would be a winner for sure! <br /><br />I began creating bells (fincorporating edgings) about 25 years ago (there were few 3-D patterns back then) and I always used a styrofoam bell form to figure out the stitch counts in the upper sections - and also had good luck! I also use the bell form (covered with plastic wrap) to dry the bells after covering with the stiffening solution. And I add a metal chain and a crystal or metal filigree clapper. I was pleased when Renulek's designed her bell, as it also has a perfect shape. I like the effect with the blue and white threads that you used! I also like the blue and white doily. A lot of picots there!

I did the tatted edge first then the netting and a little chain afterwards on that one. sadly I never took pictures but the baby bonnet is made like described.

Both doilies are lovely, lovely patterns.<br />Your bells, I had a laugh at the bell being a hat for the dog, it's a pity one is narrow and tall but they do look like bells. Beautiful booties, I like the way you have done the pink at the bottom and on the round on the top.<br />Well done with your tatting look forward to seeing what you tat this weekend.<br />MargaretMargarets designer cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649752567816134409noreply@blogger.com
