Beads and Oya

IMG_3249leaves and flower

I attempt at making a piece of Oya from a photo I saw.Looks like they are using polyester or nylon thread in the photo but I am using cotton.  I strung some beads on some Manuela variegated tatting thread (discontinued color of thread)and strung all I had and figured well since I was just playing I would make as many motifs as I could and then figure out how long the lace would be.   I got 7 motifs before I ran out of beads.

This is the  picture I saw on line.
Oya
I thought I would give it a go with a twist of my own.  So i do not know if mine would be considered Oya any more or not but it is based on an oya pattern.I changed bugle beads to three seeds beads and thought I would give it a go since I was crocheting it onto anything like a scarf I just crochet it to a random piece of Romanian point lace cording.  OK yes I know I am mixing laces and regions and do I care um-mm maybe a little but since it is for me not so much.  I still need to find that box of nylon thread.
just a few oya motifs
