Tatting added to another shell pendant

The picture isn't good, but it's a gray and snowy day!!

Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Tropical Punch.

 Now 3 pendants have tatting around them!  I need 

to get to work on the chains for each, and tat around

the matching earrings(I am so lazy!!!)!!!

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

Side view of shell pendants & an Ice Drop

Ok, here is a picture of one of the sets of the shell 

necklace and earring sets I have been adding tatting 

to.  This is the set I will be adding the Tropical 

Punch colored tatting to.

I was asked for a side view of the pendants.

Here is a side view.  They are very thin.

 If you are wondering what is in the window, it's 

my "giant" snowman suncatcher with a tatted 

center(belly).  I have plans to add more tatting, but 

a million other things have prevented me from getting 

it done so far, but I still love having it in the window!!

 Here is a side view of the pendants I have already 

added tatting to.

Still working to empty my Tatsy shuttle and got 

another Ice Drop done.  I love this one!! :)

 And got this motif which would be a back 

of an Ice Drop, but I don't want to wind a 

shuttle to add the front.  So...my Tatsy 

is finally empty(it was only half full).

Have an awesome week of tatting and 

hopefully lots of love!!! :)

Post # 2 today

I should have been working on the chains for the 

first pendant, but....this was started and easier!!!

This is tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Ecru.

This is the same design as the first one, but the 

stitch count is a little different.  The back is the 

same without the ring in the center of the two

(it's like the back of the first one).

Well, I am not sure if I will work on the chains for 

the first or the next pendant(probably the latter 

since it's also already started).  ;)

Have a wonderful tat-filled weekend!!!  :)

***Addition to this post***

Diane was asking if this was a bead.  These are 

shell pendants from necklace sets I bought.  I thought 

they would look nice with tatting added.  Here are a 

few pictures to show what they look like normally.

 Below is the pink set(and I have other colors and 

patterns too-this project could take awhile, I think 

I counted 20 some sets).  ;)

I am afraid to fully admit that I am an addict!!

I am trying to empty a Tatsy shuttle and it seems 

endless.  When I started this Ice Drop I thought 

I might run out of thread, but nope, there is still 

thread on the shuttle.  Oh well, I am trying!

This is just a basic Ice Drop tatted in size 20 

Lizbeth Rainbow Splash with an extra row 

of chains around it and joined to each picot.

Have a wonderful tatting day!!! :)

Necklace journey???

The fabulous suggestion to tat samples helped to 

choose the color for this necklace-Honey Drizzle.

I just made up the design.

 Here is the back.  Now to work on the chain.

 But.....what should I do with the other samples???

Find another necklace which goes well and embellish 

it with tatting too, of course!  So...here is Ecru.

 And here is Tropical Punch.  ;)

At least I didn't have to waste the samples!!

I might tat something to go in the open 

circle on the last one.  ;)

Have a wonderful tat-filled day!!! :)

I just gotta show this!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

My friend, Cassandra, is a wonderful artist!!!

She is currently taking a class working with clay and 

today I saw her facebook post and was stunned!!!!!

She knows about my tatting and it just might have 

been what inspired this(I haven't talked to her about 

it yet).  I absolutely love it!!!  I am pretty sure she 

free handed the design with tools.  When she gets this 

done I am going to see if I can buy it from her!!!!!

Hope your day is going well!!!  

I am working on the necklace, the front side is 

complete and I have about 5 repeats of the back done.

Happy Tatting!!!!!!!!!!  :)

Decision made

I believe the Honey Drizzle wins.  I started with the 

Ecru, but it's size 20 and although I think it looks 

fabulous, the Honey Drizzle seems to bring out more 

of a personality to me.

I think this is the design I will be using and joining 

from the back at the base of the rings.

 Here is the Ecru.

 Here is the Tropical Punch.

I have other necklaces which will use up the 2 I 

don't use here.  ;)

 This Ice Drop was tatted and shown(I believe) before 

Christmas. Yellow gem and size 20 Lizbeth 

Rainbow Splash.

 Orange gem, same thread.

 Light blue gem, same thread.

All Diane's designs.

Well, at least I had some tatting to show!! :)

Have a wonderful tat-filled day!!! :)

Ice Drops continue......

This is a basic Ice Drop with extra picots.

Tatted in Lizbeth size 40 Purple Splendor.

  The back was pretty too, so I took a picture.  ;)

Emptied 3 shuttles and gonna try to tat some samples 

 of the 3 colors I am trying to decide between for the 

necklace.

Happy Tatting everyone!!! :)

Looking for opinions

I have this shell necklace and earring set and I want to 

add tatting to it.  Our daughter got me these awesome 

beads which go beautifully with it so, I figure they will 

end up in the chain of the necklace.

I have 3 thread choices that look close.

 First is Honey Drizzle(our daughter says this would 

be her choice).

 Next is Ecru, which to me seems to tame the pink.

 And last is Tropical Punch which seems to have all 

the colors(and more pink).

Please let me know what you think.  ;)

Have a great day!! :)

Another Ice Drop

This is Nicola Bowersox's pattern from Ice Drop Addicts 

on facebook.  I left off the outer round because I was 

running out of thread.  I tatted it in size 40 Lizbeth 

Wildflower Garden with adjusted stitch counts.

Have a wonderful day of tatting!!! :)

Spring Garden Ice Drop

Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Wildflower Garden.

The center gem is light purple as the gem next 

to it.

Hope you are having a tat-filled day!! :)

Ice Drop #2 today

This one is Diane's Minty Fudge tatted in size 40 

Lizbeth Wildflower Garden.  The outer round looks 

different because I used her stitch counts and in 

size 40 I should have added more stitches.  Oh well, 

it's cute.

Have a wonderful Sunday tomorrow

 and happy tatting!!! :)

Diane's Blue Fudge Ice Drop

Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Vineyard Harvest.

Another Ice Drop in the works.

Happy Tatting, stay warm!!! :)

Finally!

I finally did something with my Backward Swirl Motif 

which I designed back in 2016 

(post here:  https://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2016/03/weekend-tatting.html  )

Then I tatted 2 in two variegated blues and had an 

idea, but never got around to it.  Well, they are almost 

complete-deciding whether they should be pins or 

necklace pendants.

I have another one of each of the charms and am 

thinking I need to tat 2 more Swirl Motifs!  :)

Maybe next time I will put them on the opposite 

colored motif.  ;)

Happy tatting!!! :)

My friend is happy!!!

She has been asking me each day if I had the 

organizer put together yet, and I had to keep 

saying no, but today our daughter who loves 

to assemble things, got up and put it together.

 And, I got busy and started filling it.

Currently it has on the left side mostly Ice Drop 

supplies, and on the right side mostly suncatcher 

supplies, but since I also make Ice Drop suncatchers 

they all work together!! :)

Happy Tatting everyone!! :)

Christmas gifts for tatting

A friend of mine was over yesterday and brought 

Christmas presents.  She came with several average 

and small packages, but then one large package.

As she handed everything out it came down to me 

receiving the very large package, and when I opened 

it there was this 12 drawer rolling storage cart. 

She said she it was for my tatting, to organize and 

be able to put projects away when our granddaughters 

come over(speaking of which, they are due today).

 Next, she handed me the next two items.

First is a pencil case, she said I could keep 

empty shuttles in it-I said, it would be empty a lot 

since I have all my shuttles "tied" up with things 

all over right now.  ;)  Who knows, I might have 

to buy shuttles to put in there to make her happy!!  ;)

And the other item was a baggie full of these 

Christmas buttons of all shapes and sizes.  Lots of 

fun ones, and I am supposed to figure out what to 

do with them all!!  :)  This could take some time!!

Hope your new year has started off well!!

Have fun tatting!!! :)
