      After lunch I'll teach the "Changeable Earrings," class:

    This is part of the "Fairy Garden Collection" and the "Garden Collection." If you made the "Garden Bracelet" and the "Faylinn Necklace," then you need to make these earrings to finish your set. You will be making two pairs of earrings: "Fairy Wheel Earrings" and "Fairy Dress Earrings." These earrings will be, interchangeable and hung on a pair of handmade spiral earwires.

     Being advid fisher people, we have to check out the latest fishing tackle.  While strolling down the aisle, I came across, glow-in-the-dark beads.  They would be perfect for my new tatting collection...The Fairy Garden collection.  This collection, glows-in-the-dark.  

     This is another, technique class for the workshop.  This pendant is called, "Tatianna Pendant," after the Slavic fairy queen.

Done Tweaking

Done Tweaking

     A pendant, from the Garden Collection, wasn't quite right.  I needed to adjust the stitch count on the outer row.  Now it's a lot stronger/ridgid for a pendant.  My mom took this one.

Black

     I wear a lot of black clothes.  They are classy and makes you look thinner.  I was looking for a black pair of tatted earrings and didn't have any made....until now.  This pattern is from my Garden Collection.

Very Sad Day

Thi is an extremely sad day.  I'm pretty  much unpacked and couldn't find my sketch book with my latest tatting patterns!!

I just remembered,  I put it in my desk, right before we moved.  Unfortunately,  we didn't have any room on our last trip, so I took a few things out of my desk.   We took the desk to the free pile, at the dump with the rest of the contents.   My tatting sketch book was tuck up, above something,  so I overlooked it :(  :(

Thankfully,  I scanned most of the book,  except for the "Garden Collection!!! 

Pendant

     Here's the pendant that went with the Heart Chain.  This is the last piece from the "Garden Collection."  The pendant was made from an old clip earring.  The chain measures 16".

Heart Chain

Heart Chain

     A chain from the "Garden Collection."  The middle forms a heart.  I'm designing something to hang down from the heart so stay tuned.

The heart shows up better, when there is a little weight on it.

 

Plastic Button

      Found some pretty, plastic buttons at a local craft store.  I turned it into a pendant, for the Garden Collection.

    A few weeks ago, we went to a quilt show.  While there, someone seen me wearing my tatting.  We traded tatting for string, pearl cotton #12.  This was one of the things she wanted.  The earrings/pendant is from the "Garden Collection."
