For My Aunt

For My Aunt

      My aunt has been placed in a nursing home, so my mom asked me to make her a cross to hang in her room.   This cross is called Christina,  from  Lene Bjorn's, "Tatted Bookmarks" book.  The cross was made with size 10 crochet thread and has a gold filament. The cross measures about 4 X 6".  The middle of the cross has a crystal heart, hanging from it.

Designing

Designing

     Usually, I am able to get a new design to come out the first time.  Maybe, a little tweaking the second time.  BUT  4 TIMES!!!  I must be loosing it!  I'm not able to cope with failure in the art department.  I figured out the design wasn't coming out to my standards because I was using a tear drop bead instead of a bead with the hole through the center.  Finally, four tries later, and I obtained the design I was looking for.  
      The pendent was tatted with two strands of gold, metallic sewing thread, aroung a focal bead and a flattened bead for the drop.

Purse for My Sister

Purse for My Sister

        Was going through my pictures and found a few I haven't posted.  I designed this purse, for my sister, four years ago.  There was a matching hanky, but I forgot to take a picture of it.  The tatting was done in size 40 thread.
