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.  :)

SSSR Bracelet Finished

A friend liked the look of the SSSR interwoven chains that I did and wanted a bracelet.  I explained that in the size 40 I had recently done it was too scratchy and not to my liking.  She still wanted it and persisted so I made another in size 20(still not quite to my liking, but much, much better and less scratchy).  This is Lizbeth size 20 Caribbean and Lilac Dk.  Personally, I think this would be much better in a larger size yet, but I am hoping she likes it or I will try again.  :)  *Oh, this is the backside of the bracelet, but it looks very similar to the front.  :)

Another small set of my dreamcatcher earrings.

These are for another girl at church.  They are my small dreamcatcher earrings, but they are done with size 40 Yarnplayer's HDT Celery.  
I have also re-tatted my woven SSSR bracelet in size 20 this time and am just waiting till I add the finding to show it.  :)

Bangle Bracelet Dreamcatcher

I tatted this dream catcher before vacation, but finished the addition of the feathers last night.
This is a bangle bracelet and the thread is size 40 Lizbeth Autumn Spice.  The feather charms actually hang well, but they don't sit well on the scanner.
Someone had asked me before about wrapping a whole bracelet.  Well, it's done.  There are 30 stitches between each join, but as you can see, not at the top-working on making that better yet.  :)

A little tatting(24 hours worth) during travel for vacation. :)

These are tatted beaded garlands for some artificial Christmas wreaths I want to decorate.  I tatted them while traveling from Michigan to Tennessee and back again last week.
I tatted around the silver one on the way to, and around the red one on the way back.  They are just beaded necklaces which they sell for Mardi Gras in packs of 12.  I cut the joined section out(just a couple of beads) and then have one strand about 2-3 ft. long.  It took approximately 12 hours with breaks to tat each one.
  I really like how well they turned out!

Center of Flower Burst Doily

This is the center of the Flower Burst doily from the book Ultimate Book of Tatted Doilies.  It's tatted in size 60 Flame Lantana from Tatskool.  I started this so very many months ago and finally got a chance to finish it this week.
