3D Angel


Pulled this out & finished the circle, lots of cupping - not sure it will make a difference once assembled.   The 2 wings are next -- Using Lizbeth 20, Col. 601 and 11/0 Glass Seed Beads.

continue to empty tatting shuttles ....

 I keep adding to 
the lace sample pile.  Tho, maybe the blue flower is too large --


 The lace samples are created for the cards being handed out at lace demonstrations.

Penny Wooden Doll (dresses w/tatting)


I was unsure about hand washing these
doll dresses.  I have had the Penny Wooden Doll
for several years.

I bought the dresses at a local doll show -- they are lovely with the tatting.   I gave one to my Siste-in-Law, too.  Her doll dress had blue tatting --

I went ahead and hand washed & air dry.
They look SO MUCH BETTER.

Woven Petal Flowers ~ A Turkish Tatting Technique

Attempted new technique:
   Created a wonky petal, small petal, and chubby petal during on-line zoom class.

I used Lizbeth size 20, Col. 621 (pink) + Col. 683 (lime).  Interesting to learn, practice needed!

 The kit has fiber; however, I'm using Lizbeth, Size 20, Col. 159 & Col. 646 -- the kit comes with white fiber to complete four patterns.

Kit includes custom loom, needle, fiber, + four patterns/instructions.  

IMO - you need to have on hand:  scissors, tape measure/ruler, scotch tape.   I like to have (nearby) pin cushion, needle threader, stiletto, post-it note, & longer needle.
