A gift to my niece Meghan Brooks Tatro and her now husband Brian Tatro. This was a labor of love with no guide. I only worked on it when happy, so that ruled out many weekdays right after work - haha.
I used satin cording in 5mm and 8mm. The bride picked the colors. The final piece is just shy of 6'.
I knew I wanted a heart in the center, but couldn't find a thing on how to do one, so I drew it up.
The first loop was the toughest - hahaha
The first part of the heart
Adding the second color
2 hearts that will be joined together...
Adding in other colors - because it needs to be long.
The color scheme
Working and thinking. I'd try something and if I liked it, it stayed. If not, I ripped it back out.
Getting larger...
Adding in a braid
The final piece - with flash for shine
It was used to handfast during the wedding, but I think the groom was happy with it :)
