Nickeys Angel
This little angel was designed in honor of my family pet who was in my life for the
past 16 years he passed away in October.
He is sure missed by the family.
Heres his cute little smiling face.

Heres his angels...

Its the same angel done in different threads and beads.
The first 3 on top are done with size 10 thread and 5 needle.
The bottom 3 are done with a yarn type tatting thread i dont know the size
but it is equivalent to 2 strands of size 10 thread together with a size 7 needle.
The wooden beads on the top are 1mm the berry Beads are 1.5mm
and the angel head bead is also 1.5mm.
This pattern uses the technique of putting a bead in the center of a split ring...
If you are unsure on how to do this here is the technique and some other ways of doing it.
