Her name is Clematis and she takes 144 beads on the shuttle. This is a ring only one shuttle pattern. The directions are given in English, Japanese and diagramed.
Once you understand the notation you can quickly tat this motif. I used some seed beads and 6 strand Sanbest thread. I was able to fill a large clover shuttle with all the beads and enough thread to complete.
The design is from the book Emblem Tatting by Mikami Gaku. As soon as I shop my stash for some additional beads I'll be making another.
Very effective. That’s a lot of beads on the shuttle, clearly you have the knack of managing them.
