Ring A Ding Ding

One thing I did accomplish this weekend, other than the shed steps, is doing a test tat for Jane Eborall. She designed this cute little sun catcher. I am sure you have seen it by now. She asked me if I would try out her pattern. It works fine, of course. I did have one problem. She suggested using a ring bracelet for the large ring. I could not find one, so, of course, I did what I normally would. I made one on the 3D printer. I had pink already loaded, so that is what I used. You can surely see it! On the right side of the picture is a chain that went all wahoonie shaped on me. I pulled a little and it settled down.


For the inner ring, I bought 3/4" cabone rings. As it turns out, those are 3/4" outside diameter and the pattern called for 3/4" inside diameter. 1" cabone rings are the correct ones. They have the 3/4" inside diameter.

  2. I love that you made your own ring on a 3D printer! It would be fascinating to see one in action1 Thanks for the tip on the cabone rings. I've often wondered how to measure them for tatting purposes.

  3. Lovely,Tim. I am adding "wahoonie" to my tatting vernacular. Hee.

  4. Well done, I had a wahoonie once and didn't know what to call it. Your term is much nicer that the one I used
