Needle Lace Sea Shell


This one went quickly, and this is my first picture of Lesson 3 from the Guild of Needle Lace's Basic Booklet.
There are no new stitches, everything is corded single brussels, with a section of pea stitch variation.
I'm using DMC tatting thread, and found some colors in my stash. From left to right, I used #3773, #738, ecru and #353.
Next is the top stitching. I can use the practice, so I'll take it slow and easy and try to make it look good.
