Size comparison of dream catcher earrings

Well, here are all 4 pairs of dream catcher earrings I made this week.  As you can see there is a size difference.  The center back are my "large" earrings, the center front are "medium" and the rainbows are the small earrings.  The centers are both tatted in size 40 and the smalls in size 100.  I will need to buy size 80 or 100 to continue to do the small ones.  And....I have another request-this time in Peacock Blues).  Guess you know what I will be done today.  :)

Raspberry Pink dream catcher earrings

I only have a good picture of one because the charms on the other one didn't lay nice on the scanner so I cut that part of the picture off since this one looked really good.  These were requested by a young 12 yr. old girl from our church.  It will be a nice cheer-up gift since her dog just died this week.  

These are tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Raspberry Pink(Med.-I think)  :)  And the ring isn't a plastic one, it's actually a metal one, but it would take too long to explain it.  :)

Small rainbow and large Scottish Thistle dream catcher earrings

I have one pair of the small rainbow dream catcher earrings done and am working on the second pair needed.  Oh, these are tatted in Tatskool's Rainbow Bright HDT size 100.

These are the large pair tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Scottish Thistle.

 I have now tatted 4 pairs of these(3 large & 1 small) and I still have 2 small to get done, plus a pair of cross earrings too.  I wonder if I will be able to tat any thing other than earrings again.....I have to!  I have other projects still needing finishing and tons on my want to do list!!  :)

Smaller dream catcher earring accomplished

The scan is lousy, but the earring is ok.  I am ok with it, but wishing it was better(for my perfectionist side).  :)  I have to make a second to complete this pair, then another pair, and I am also working on 1 large pair and have 1 done.  :)

A Purple Iris Fusion dream catcher earring

A friend saw my daughter's rainbow dream catcher earrings and requested 1 purple pair for herself and 2 smaller pairs for her granddaughters so they could have "look-alikes".  So, I did this one and showed her and she loved it, so I made the other and have finished them off with the earwires and delivered them to a very excited lady.  Her granddaughters' earrings are in the works, but I ran into a dilemma...they quit selling the smaller hoops like this one, so I am trying something different and going to see if she likes it or if I need to find another way to make them.

Plus, I have another request for another pair of these which is being tatted in Scottish Thistle, and another smaller pair in pink.  Wow!!  Didn't expect these to be so popular.  :)

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:

Tatting inspired banner-a gift for me. :)

The retreat was totally awesome!!!  The ladies loved the dangles!!!

(here:  http://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-rainbow-of-dangles.html  ),

and a friend who made the retreat decided to surprise me with a banner(poster sized) for me to remember it since I was "leading" it(actually God was leading and I was just following his will).  I thought I would share it because it's special for due to the fact that she knows my love of tatting and wanted to include it some way(she is an artist).  Here is the banner:

She is the artist of the picture which I had for the weekend, and if you see the designs on the top and bottom in the pink, she said that she loves the tatting I do and wanted me to have something special to remember the weekend and she tried to create a design inspired by tatting for me to have.  How special is that???  She is awesome!!!  :)    See, tatting even inspires others.  :)
