Rainbow in the Clouds suncatcher

I had an idea and decided to tat it and 

see.  I thought white with rainbow beads 

would look great and it does, so I call it 

Rainbow in the Clouds-white clouds  with 

a rainbow of beads.  ;)
Again, it's Elaine P. Gan's Cathedral Doily-

the first 13 rows of her doily, and it's tatted 

in size 40 Lizbeth Snow White with seed 

beads.

I have a regular Rainbow suncatcher in 

progress and thousands of things swirling 

in my head while several project sitting 

unfinished.....some day, some time.  ;)
Hope you are having a great week!!
Getting some tatting time in!  :)

 

Suncatcher time

I had an order for a rainbow suncatcher 

so it's done and gone.
This one is a bit different, but then again, 

so far I think only 2 are the same.  ;)

And, I wanted to tat one of my acrylic 

"donuts" into the center of a suncatcher.

I went simple and I really like how it 

turned out.
Both suncatchers are tatted in size 40 

Lizbeth threads. The one below is Sea 

Island Citrus.

I hope you all have a wonderful week 

and get your tatting in!! :)

 

A different colored suncatcher

I just finished this suncatcher.  It's  for 

a friend.  Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth 

Purple Iris Dk. and Rainbow Taffy.

It's another 8 inch suncatcher.
I really like how it turned out.
I need to try other colors!!!  :D

Hope you are having a great day filled 

with love and tatting!!! :)

Another large tatted suncatcher yet to be received

Here is another large suncatcher gift, yet to be 

received.  We didn't have Christmas due to 

many circumstances, so the tatted gifts I 

completed are still waiting to be given.

The link to the details for this one are here:

http://tattedchristmassecrets.blogspot.com/2016/12/another-completed-christmas-secret.html

I had to be more creative to make this one work 

because I used hand-dyed thread and couldn't 

afford to have to cut and throw away mistakes, so 

I just "forced" things to work.

Have a beautiful tatting time today!!!  :)

I missed putting a title on this post-large suncatcher!

Another of last year's challenge pieces.

This is a large suncatcher I created for a dear 

friend for Christmas-who has yet to receive it, 

since we didn't have Christmas this year.

A view in the window.

To get all the details go here:

This year there will be more on that blog page(hopefully).

Have a wonderful Saturday with lots of tatting hopefully!!!  :)

Green project finished and revealed!! :)

This is my green project-a large green suncatcher.  It is 8 inches across.  The center is the first 5 rounds from a pattern called Exquisite Luncheon Set in the book Tatting Doilies & Edgings edited by Rita Weiss.  

It's tatted in Yarnplayer's HDT Celery size 10 and 4mm Peridot Bicone beads.  

This will be gifted to a friend at the end of June.  I can't wait to see her response!!!  :)

Green project continues to grow.

Still working on my green gift!!  And my smaller secret projects too!  :)

Had this outer round finished last night and almost cried when I actual calmed down from the excitement of getting this round done, and found out that I had missed a join.  I cut out the section up to the missed picot and had to tie all the threads together and hide 4 ends and try and finish it again.  Let me just say, that I was too upset last night after cutting, that it sat all night and I worked on it today and finished that round again.  :)
