Lilly Pad Earrings

Lilly Pad Earrings

     These doo-dads were from Walmart for a dollar.  There were 12 doo-dads/package.  The thread was size 30 crochet thread and 1.5" in diameter.  I tried to incorporate the lilly pad design into the tatting.

Ok...Double Post Today


Ok...Double Post Today

     I couldn't wait to show you this darling, 3-D butterfly.  I needed a break from my big tatting projects (7 foot boarder for the Church's alter and a doily for a great aunt).

     This pattern is one of Jane's wonderful patterns.  It's done in size 40, hand dyed by "Tattalittle" (In Tatters).  She gave me three gorgeous shades of turquoise thread.  The butterfly is 1.5" square (includes the antennas).  This would make a great pair of earrings in size 80.  


 

Free-Form Tiger-Eye

Free-Form Tiger-Eye

     This is a 19 X 30 mm tiger-eye stone.    I cheated and bought the pretty pattern wire.  Too much work to cut the sheeting and solder it.

Blue Snowflake Pendent

     This was the last piece of the broken necklace.  The doo-dad was missing a center stone, so I replaced it with a blue stone.  The Piece  was done in Lizbeth, size 40, antique blue and measures 2" in diameter.
