Teal Cross

Teal Cross

    Wanted to make some thing bigger, so tried making a cross.  I had a brain-fart, while adding the long strand of beads, but got it right the next time.  Yesterdays, post was the result of the fart.  Here is the final product.  The cross was tatted with silver sewing thread and measures 2" X 2 1/2".

    Reworked this pattern a little.  This one was tatted with two strands of Coats and Clark, silver sewing thread.  The pendent measures 1.5" in diameter.  I decided to keep this one.

Baby Bunnies

Baby Bunnies

     These are a pair of baby bunnies I had gotten in a tatting exchange.  They are from Carollyn, "Carollyn's Tatting Blog."  They even came in their own little tatting case.  Aren't they just adorable!!!  They jumped straight to work and are working on a new Tatsmithing design.



     The baby bunnies have been hard at work.  Here is what they created, using two stands of Sulky, metallic, purple/teal sewing thread.  The pendent is 1 3/8" in diameter.   I had just enough thread on my core shuttle to complete this one.  Next time I use this thread, I'll blend it with gold or silver thread.

Custom Order

     A customer had seen a pendent, from last weeks post, that matched, perfectly, one of her rings.  She asked if I would make a chain for the pendent.  The chain was made with two strands of metallic sewing thread.



Pretty good match.

Baby Bats

Baby Bats

     Finally finished some shuttles.  This one came to me as we were driving down the road to go fishing.  It was earlier in the spring and a bat swooped  in front of the truck.  I love bats, they remind me of flying ratties.  They also eats lots of mosquitoes!!!  When we lived on the mountain, we didn't have any mosquitoes and lots of bats.  
    
     So this got me thinking of a shuttle design.  Here they are, from the bat cave:
