Playing with rings

Well, I've been very busy tatting this week.

Got an idea, inspired by how

Iris has used the rings in her earrings.

Loved the dimensional effect she created

and I just couldn't stop myself from doing this.

.

Rings on rings.....

Got it correct after a lot of tries,

Made it into a bracelet

.

.

Here's a closer look at the lock

.

(I'm loving the play with wires too!)

.

Next,

Trying to add some more of the 3rd dimension to tatting

.

.

.

Puffed up swirling rings.

Again made it into a bracelet

.

.

and of course, the lock

.

.

See those puffed up rings?

I think I'm going to try this out with beads next.

.

And Finally

My Swirling Heart

.

.

Same on both sides.....

Another look at a differnt angle?

.

.

That could make a pretty locket......

So, what do you think?
