2 More Pairs of Teardrop Earrings

As I said in the previous post, I have been following 

the suggestions of our daughter.

First, Lizbeth size 20 Christmas Red with gold beads.

 Second, Lizbeth size 20 Lilac Dk. with dark purple 

beads which if seen in person have like an oil slick 

rainbow in the color(the scanner makes them look 

black every time).

Hope you are having a wonderful day and getting 

lots of tatting done!!! :)

Teal Teardrop Earrings

More of Elaine's Tear Drop Earrings.

Tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Ocean Teal Med.

Our daughter is choosing all the colors of threads 

and beads since she knows the current styles and 

trends.

Setting up other color combinations today.

Test tatted necklace and Test tattings

This is another Elaine P. Gan design.

Exquisite Neckpiece.  I LOVE this one!!!

I want to tat it again, but longer!!!

It's tatted in Lizbeth size 40 Black with seed beads.

 Here's the close-up.  Needs some blocking.

I also test tatted 2 bracelet patterns.

One still in progress....

And...one turned into a bookmark.

And....A Rose Heart(revised).

Looks like we are getting a small break from the 

frigid temps so life might become a little more 

"normal" again.  Hope you have a wonderful 

tatting filled Saturday!!! :)

Tatting and Test Tatting

Ok, I have been in choker mode even though it's 

not my thing.  Our daughter has loved the ones 

I have test tatted for Elaine P. Gan and suggested 

I tat more.  

Also, I was invited to a March Craft 

Show and my family has encouraged me to go.

So....I thought about the Spiral Bookmark pattern 

as a choker for teens.  Pattern link here:

Tatted in Lizbeth size 20 Ocean Teal Med. & Snow 

White.

Next, I started Jane's Bookmark for another possible

choker -pattern here:

Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Niagara Falls.  It is now

sitting because, while closing a ring the thread 

broke and frustrated me.  ;)

 This is my tatting spot on the livingroom floor 

gaining more and more tatting stuff(I NEED to put 

some away!!!).  In the center of the picture are the 

2 Rainbow Taffy Cathedral Doilies I am tatting.  

They are now each ready for row 22 of 33.

 And, I have been test tatting for Elaine P. Gan
(she has a blog now-  https://mytattingbox.blogspot.com/ )

again.  To start I tatted her Simple Heart Earrings

(without the decorative picots) in size 20 Lizbeth 

Ocean Teal Med.

 Then, Gifted Earring(I only did one) in size 20 

Lizbeth Snow White.

 Then Acorn Earring(I only did one).

Now this one is not complete.  I missed 

tatting the top chain because I was 

watching Kids Baking Championship 

with our daughter and got a tad 

distracted just before the end of the 

pattern.  Our daughter thinks this looks 

like a fancy Victorian heart.  ;)

Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Elderberry Jam.

 And, then I tatted Tear Drop Earring.

I think I love the Acorn and Tear Drop 

Earrings best so far!!!  :)
This is tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Snow 

White.

I am test tatting the earrings using up 

thread on shuttles to clear a bunch of shuttles.

I hope you are tatting productively 

especially if you are stuck inside in the 

frigid temps some of us are experiencing.

Have a wonderful and warm tatting day!!! :)

Just finished another test tatted earring.

This one is the Exquisite Earring.

Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Black.

A New Tatting Blog

Elaine P. Gan now has a blog so you can all 

see her beautiful tatting and you can contact 

her about her books and patterns if interested.

Currently she doesn't have a place for her sales 

so please be patient.

Here is the link to her blog:

A red and gold choker

It's too long for the scanner, but I get a much 

clearer picture from the scanner.

It's tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Christmas Red with 

gold beads.
It's one of the Elaine P. Gan designs.

Happy Tatting!!!

For those in the frigid temps, stay safe and warm!!!
