I just had to tat around this beautiful
chevron amethyst teardrop cabochon!
But I wanted to keep the tatting simple
so that the stone would take center stage.
This is for me(I wore it Sunday). :)
I can't capture the gorgeous color, but I tried
with 2 pictures. I used Lizbeth Purple Dk. size 40
and some white and crystal seed beads to mimic
the white chevron stripes. If you know chevron
means zigzag(ok, that is my explanation) you
might be wondering where the other part of the
"V" shape is...well, the point is on the side under
the tatting, and the other half of the "V" is on
the back of the stone. It's so beautiful!!
Oh, for those wondering about the weird chain,
I just finger crocheted a basic crochet chain.
If you are wondering about these stones I have
been tatting around, our daughter is into "crystals"
(semi precious stones). She gets all kinds and some
in shapes.
She gave me several for Christmas so I could tat
She gave me several for Christmas so I could tat
around them. Oh, I forgot to get pictures of 2 other
stones which I kept for myself to tat around, but you
will be seeing them(one is orange, and one is brown).
I don't know all the names of the stones, but I know
a few. The first 2 teardrops are amethyst, the last
teardrop is rose quartz.
Some are red jasper, some are tiger eye, and most I
do not know. I just know what is pretty to me, and
what isn't, and many of these are not for me, but I
know others will like them. I just think the ones
that are not for me are pretty cool! ;)
She gave me these below quite awhile ago with
the agate slices I tatted around recently.
And here are the some shapes that I liked and kept.
The elephant is a druzy elephant it has a small pocket
of tiny crystals near it's back. Then I have a clear
quartz butterfly and very tiny angel, and my beautiful
sparkly blue heart.
So, you will be seeing more tatting embellished stones
this year amidst other projects.
I hope you all have a fabulous tatting filled week!! :)
For those in the Tollway Tatters, this Saturday is our
next get together. I can't wait!! :)
