Sheila's Tatted Angel Earrings

R=ring Ch=chain p=picot RW=reverse work LP=long picot (long enough to go through teardrop bead) j=join PB=picot beads BJ=bead join

I have done this pattern using different beads for the body.  The first one has a hole through the middle and the other two have a hole going through the top.  I added beads to the halo on the third and used white thread.
