Marilee Rockley's Joyful Bell Re-Engineered

Marilee’s Bell, Re-topped

Marilee Rockley is a tatter extraordinaire, a member of InTatters and she writes a great blog at http://yarnplayertats.blogspot.com as well as selling her jewelry, patterns and hand dyed threads in her Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/yarnplayer?ref=shop_sugg. She has a great free pattern called Joyful Bell on her blog, which I’ve made several times. I thought that open space in the center looked like a great place to hang a teardrop so I’ve adapted her work to make the top of the bell a little more ornate. I use it a lot for earrings, and typically tat beads onto every picot in sight! See what you think.
