Christmas Angel Finished

Here she is all Finished!

I changed the Halo I didn't want to stiffen it so I used a metal 

center and tatted it to a bangle bracelet so it would hold it 

shape year after year.

I also used a shuttle shaped bead and attached her tatting to it.

Here she is I just finished the skirt

Now on to the collar!

Here is a scan of the bottom row

As you can see I added beads to the bottom

I think it needed some weight to help the skirt lay properly.

Christmas Angel

Here she is tonight I still have about 3 inches more to do on her skirt.

I never thought I would do this much mignonette tatting. 

Using a picot gauge sure makes it look good.
