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 Dolls 

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!
