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!!! :)

Finished my first Online Tatting Design Class project

I got to show the class tonight, so...I get to show you 

now.
I found this picture and wanted to tat a suncatcher 

with a similar design.  Well....

It ended up becoming a 7 inch doily.

It's tatted in size 3(yes, 3!) Lizbeth Snow White.

It has Ninetta's Treble Tatting in 3 rows-the center, 

the middle, and just before the final row.
There is some ruffling, but I am sure it will settle 

down with I get around to blocking it properly.

For those who don't know about Ninetta's Treble Tatting, 

it mimics crochet, here is a link:

 Below is a close up of the edge with the Treble Tatting 

which is just before the final chains.

Have a great day filled with tatting!!! :)
