Working on the suncatcher gift

I started thinking this design in the other with 
picots on the long chains toward the ring so that I could 
join the tatting to the ring, but then I decided I really 
liked it better in this direction and started tatting along.
Well....just so you know, it's no longer being tatted.  I 
forgot to clearly think through these very heavy glass 
beads and what gravity does.  So...they look fabulous 
when at the top, but! at the sides they sag, and at the 
bottom they flop out to the front or the back.
 So....I cut it out and will think it over again.
But...when I cut the design off the beads it curled 
some and gave me a design I like and hope to use 
somewhere else.  :)
Happy tatting!!!  :)
