little Christmas angel

Here's my first attempt at a three dimensional tatting.

I like the colors on this one

I like the colors on this bookmark. I got creative with the tail too. It was fun.

Nancy Price's bookmark

This fun bookmark come from Nancy Price. I used #20 cotton. I should have made it a little smaller as she used #40. Oh well, I learned something anyway.

circle of fun

These little cuties are in the latest Handy Hands newsletter. Fall 2011. They are earrings by Kendra Goodnow. Only, I made them into zipper pulls. They are for my mom as she struggles with those tiny zipper pulls on her coats.

Kim's snowflake

This is Kim Millar's snowflake. Her blog is with Georgia Seitz's. I really liked it.

red bookmark

This is my own experiment. Not sure I like the color combination. It's a long one too.

another pretty snowflake

This one has an error in it. If you can spot it, you're a pro. I can disguise it anyway. So, that's ok

Cloverleaf Bell

This one is from the book Christmas Angels and Other Tatting Patterns by Monica Hahn. I really enjoyed making it and learned a new skill in the bargain.

made a page for my new binder

I have so many photo copies patterns in tatting. So, I bought a new pretty pink binder and made a title page for it. Such fun.

New bookmarks

The pink bookmark is Bree's pattern. I never did find out how she did it in one piece, but it came together. The other two belong to Rachel. I do like that pattern. And the variegated thread from Lizbeth.

They show up better with red behind them. I painted them with iridescent, frosty, sparkle. Wish it would show up. These are for hanging on a tree.

sparkly snowflakes

There, they show up better with red behind. Wish the sparkles showed up

tatted small cross

I liked making this little cross. The design is from Rachel. xstchntat. 

 

The bottom snowflake, I made so long ago, I don't know where the pattern came from. It's been sitting for years. The top one was supposed to be just a triangle. It hadn't met by three points, so I kept going. I like it.

I got this idea from a book in a little store in Calgary. I've made some changes. It was a little experiment. Not sure I like it that much.

flower bookmark

Finally got this put together. Now that I know how, I like it and plan to make more.
I've pulled a muscle in my leg, so I've had lots of time to tat while I sit on my massage seat. Only goes to show, I should be tatting instead of working in the garden. he he.

apple and watering can

I've made two new tats for cards. The apple is from Mark Myers, thank you Mark. It was fun to make. I glued it to a green card.
 The water can is a design from Jane Eborall, thank you Jane. I appreciate that people have posted their patterns. I added a little flower to the can. Notice the water coming out?

dragonfly with a little more

ok I did add some loopy leaves at the top. My daughter says I overkill and it looks too randon. oh well, I'm having fun

added some grass

I added a little grass to this flower, we'll see if that brings it some admiration

another hat

another hat tat. I guess I'll quit these for awhile and stick with greeting cards. They aren't selling.

snowflake and dragonfly

This snowflake pattern was actually at little motif with just three points. But, as I worked it, I wasn't coming anywhere near getting it to it's end. So, I kept going. It makes a nice snowflake. Then I put some sparkle paint on it. Note to self, use less paint.

I drummed this dragonfly up in my head, after I'd learned how to make split rings. I put some sparkle on it too. It's for a greeting card. Does it look finished?

more greeting cards

Sometimes I'm not sure if I've put enough on the cards
