Jungle Green Necklace

Jungle Green Necklace

     This necklace was done in Lizbeth, size 3, Jungle Green.  The necklace is a great pattern for needle tatters to practice their directional tatting (hint, hint....students).

Smashing Bracelet

Smashing Bracelet

     I smashed a few extra lighthouse  pennies and made bracelet out of them.  Too bad there wasn't different lighthouse pennies in the area.  That would make a cool souvenir bracelet.  A hint, use pre-1982 pennies and seal them with colorless fingernail polish.  The newer pennies have a zinc core and tend to surface once smashed.

Square Motif

Square Motif

     This is one of my favorite patterns to tat.  Jon had taken her square motif and turned it into a necklace.  I like to make them in size 3 thread.  Thankfully Handy Hands started making this size with their gorgeous Lizbeth thread.  The thread tats nicer than the three-strand crochet thread.  This one was made with my left over crochet thread.
