New Doily

New Doily

     Finally, finished and blocked out my new doily for my new kitchen table.   We had gotten a larger table and it needed a bigger doily.  I hate to hide ends, as most of us tatters do,  and all those little motifs needed their ends hidden.  The doily was done with size 20 thread and measures 22" across.

       Finally finished, the dreaded doily....whew....finally!!!

Broken

Broken

      I found a baggie of old jewelry, at a yard sale.  In there was a broken bracelet.   I made some of the links into a pair of earrings.

     This round went a little faster...one more to go.  This one is going to take me a while.

New Toy

New Toy

     I just received the new Dremel Micro rotary tool.  This Dremel is awesome!!  The slim-line and lightness, fits well in my small hands.  It has four lights, on the end, to light up my work.  I had to try an etching project, using a diamond tip.  I found  a vase at a yard sale, that worked out perfectly.

Earrings

    My moodstone needed a pair of earrings to go with it...I may keep this set.

Mood Stone

Mood Stone

      Do you remember mood rings...boy does that date me.  I guess they are coming back.  I had a mood stone, cabochon that needed a little Tatsmithing around.

     If you needed a little chemistry lesson, here it is.

Heceta

     I finally finished my watercolor of Heceta lighthouse.  It took me three days to paint the water.  

Quilling

Quilling

      Was feeling in the mood to do a quilling project of hearts and flowers.  The finished piece is 5" square.

Fossils

Fossils

     We had moved to a smaller place, and have nowhere to display my rocks.  With the price of silver, I haven't been able to buy silver.  Thus, I have two empty display boxes just laying around.  I built them, so I could rearrange the shelve   to accommodate various necklaces.  I decided to use one as a shadow box for my fossils.  

The specimen is copal, not quite as old as amber.  The white, inclusions, on the right is pollen.  The tan, creatures, on the right are termites.  

Grandma's

Grandma's

       I received a couple of Grandma's hankies.  As soon as I saw this one, I had to tat an edging around it.

Edging

Edging

    Just finished an edging.  The pattern is from Iris's, Fantaisia 3, called "Sonja."

Slow

       Slowly working through this doily.

Spoon

Spoon

    I tat little motifs, during the farmer's market.  Once I finish, a little motif, I'll put it on a vendor's table.  One of the vendors put the motifs in a spoon and gave it too me.  Octopus's Garden & Goods, was the vendor.
