I hope that I have labeled every scan correctly, but if there are errors just email me please. Not all of these are original designs but they are all the work of online tatting class participants. Many thanks to all for sharing.

As we feast our eyes on all this lovely work, let us review the basics of bead placement; on the ring thread in order to depend from picots, on the shuttle thread to "stack" and over the picots when joining new tatting to old. lesson illustration	Rainbow Earrings by Sharon Briggs
Jaquie Teal shares this diagram for placing a bead in the center of a split ring. Complete the first half of ring, pull a large loop of the SH2 thread up through the bead and slide the SH1 through the loop. Use SH2 to pull out the slack but do not allow the SH1 thread to slide into the bead (put a little safety pin on it) and continue to wrap the DS of the second half of the split ring as normal and close.

But there are many ways to add beads. Here is a diagram freely stolen from the May 2001 ANNA (which has the tatting course in it). It shows beads added to a "captured" picot.	Stolen from May 2001 Anna

The possibilities are just endless! Here you can click your away through a banquet of bubbles, baubles, bangles and beads.
