You can play around with different sizes and line colors. I like to use the .1cm size. The only problem that I have is turning the grid a…"

The completed cobweb
"This is so fantastic! I also love the color combination, they work very well together. The stitches worked with each color really create a lovely sense of movement within the web. I always love beads in anything and find the little rings on…"
Laura Sandison replied to Lorelei Halley's discussion LETS MAKE LITTLE RINGS in the group Needle Lace Stitches"Isn't that the truth!!! I even had this silly pattern in my dreams before I actually started working. It's best to just pick it up and start.

Laura Sandison replied to Lorelei Halley's discussion LETS MAKE LITTLE RINGS in the group Needle Lace Stitches"It's coming along, slowly.

Circle Sampler for Rings
"Much better cropped. I was in a rush when I saved it. Just finished another piece tonight, so now I'll work on the sampler."

2012KokopelliNancyEvans
"He's a fun fellow. Kokopelli is a Native American character from the desert southwest. He plays a flute or such and tends to be a fertility diety. I think he's just fun! We find him on pots and rock art historically, but now…"

2013RoadrunnerLSNEvans
"The "chain" effect around the edge is typical point de gaze knotted buttonhole. If you closely at old pieces, the attached pieces use the same. The roadrunner is our state bird, and Nancy designs things for where she teaches. The…"
