More Test Tatting

Elaine P. Gan is designing and tatting again.

I did these Hearts of Bliss earrings for our 

8 year old granddaughter(she didn't ask for 

earrings, but I think she will like them).

They are tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Razzle Dazzle 

with tiny purple beads.

I am test tatting a mat right now, but had to take a 

break after 5 little repeats due to a headache coming 

on, and the constant directional changes in the pattern.

Happy tatting and have a blessed weekend!!!  :)

Got some small test tattings done

All 3 of these designs are again from Elaine P. Gan.  And they are all earring patterns

The first is tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Caribbean.

 This next one is tatted in size 40 an HDT from Tat-ilicious(from several years back). I had asked her if she could dye a confetti thread(hoping for little spots of all different colors) and this was her thought-pretty colorway, but not what I was thinking. I call it Hippie Summer cuz' it reminds me of blue jeans and peasant tops from the 70's when I was a kid. :) Although not tatted in the same color... this earring goes with this pendant:  http://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2015/06/another-test-tat-done-today.html

 This last one is tatted in size 10 my "HDT" Confetti(I used fabric markers and "dotted" the thread).

Hope you are having a wonderful day and getting a chance to enjoy some tatting!!!  :)

Tatting to show!! :)

This top picture is a glimpse of what my livingroom has been looking like.  Lots of tatting work sitting out.

If you can see on the paper towel about in the center I have finished both of those pairs of earrings(Lizbeth Rainbow Splash dreamcatchers, and purple dangles), and I am set up for several suncatchers(which I have 4 finished and a fifth in the works).  :)

.

These are my dreamcatcher earring pattern tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Niagara Falls.

 The small "ring" on the top of the picture is a bracelet I tatted for my oldest granddaughter too long ago to remember when, but as you can see it has been well used.  She brought it and asked me to tat another, but since I have no other rainbow thread she asked me to use the size 10 Royale that I was teaching her to tat with.  So, the bottom bracelet is the new one just needing the ends sewn in.  It's kind of adjustable so she can grow into it.  :)

Here are the 4 suncatchers I have done.  Starting on top left to right.  

All size 40  Lizbeth Sea Island Citrus, Autumn spice, 

Purple Iris Fusion, Juicy Watermelon.  (this is the only picture taken with my new camera so if the others are blurry, I apologize, but my old computer wouldn't accept the new camera, but I tried it on this new computer and it works....so far).  :)

This is a slub or flub or whatever everyone calls the knots in the ball of thread.  I was quite frustrated, but I just skipped past it for not.  I will make the correction later.

Pinkie Earrings

These are Pinkie Earrings from https://www.facebook.com/Tattingbox.  They are tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Peacock Blues.  I have 2 more pair to make, but on clip-on earrings.  They don't take long to tat.  And I couldn't find tear-drop beads so I improvised and skipped the seed beads.  :)  They looks fairly elegant in real life.  :)

My daughter loves her tatted dream catcher earrings!! :)

I tatted some dream catcher earrings for my daughter here: http://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2013/05/tatting-something-of-my-own-design.html
And today she received them and loves them.  Here is a picture:

Necklace and surprises

Happy Saturday everyone!!!(can you tell I am in a good mood????) :D
I have the necklace completed and now my daughter has a matched set with the earrings(I was waiting for her to say she wanted a bracelet next, but she has said not this time-good cuz' the joins were frustrating me to pieces!)

Next......I got some surprises today. My mother-in-law is packing to move soon and when we stopped by she had some things for me. Look here....crafting ornaments to tat on and a beautiful heart shaped gold stand. I was stunned! And now I guess she will be expecting some tatted ornaments for her tree :D Oh well, something more to work on.

Earrings and necklace

Made some earrings for my daughter yesterday. She wears clip earrings and they are hard to find so I made some for her. They are made from the Tatted Flower Pin pattern in Easy Tatting by Rozella F. Linden. I modified the pattern so it would be smaller for earrings.

And when I had first started the earrings I missed a picot join so I turned it into a necklace for my soon to be 6yr. old granddaughter(I hope she likes it!).
