Make It
Instructions
I strung beads onto the thread before beginning to tat, and slid the beads up into the outer picots while tatting. I used 2 threads as one in this project, but that made it difficult to keep a good tension - it's much easier to tat using Lizbeth thread only.Difficulty:

What was your inspiration?
It reminds me of the way plants unfurl as they grow in the spring.
What are you most proud of?
It makes a pretty heart necklace.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
This project is much easier to tat using Lizbeth thread by itself. I was pushing the limits by combining the metallic thread with it.
