My first 3-D tatted design

I was kind of freaked out when it was suggested that 

we would design a 3-D project, but I took time to 

think about it and then asked some friends for suggestions 

since I don't want to tat the same thing everyone else has, 

especially since there are some awesome 3-D tatted items 

out there.

A friend suggested a heart, but I told her and showed her 

the beautiful ones I have already seen and said that I could 

not do that well.  She then suggested a teapot cuz' she loves 

teapots.  So....I got busy. 

The result below.  Not perfect, but cute.

Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Lilac Dk., Fruit Fizz, and 

Snow White.

For size comparison the below picture without the top, 

handle and spout gives you an idea.

Most of it wasn't too bad, but the top flattened which 

I hadn't planned, and the handle came out ok, but 

the spout was a terrible thing to try and figure out. 

If it hadn't been so tiny then figuring out a tube might 

not have been so bad.  I ended up after trying 8 different 

things, just tatting and then sewing it on.  ;)

 In my hand below.

I am making it a gift to the sweet lady who suggested 

it.  Can't wait to see her face!!!
Have a wonderful tatting day!!! :)
