oooo .... looking like a 'something'

a shell-less turtle? a fancy bird? Wooden tatting shuttles are sold by Veronica, Tatting Shuttles Etsy Link HERE.

probably a sea maiden. or?

Jane keeps us guessing thru the game.

Have you visited Jane Eborall's blog, Tat It and See -- no?

link here: http://tatitandsee.blogspot.com/

should be more clues to conclude our tatted piece.

I have been tatting squares and think this fiber must have been a size 30 or size 40 . Maybe a 20 - is is 3cm x 3cm ...

small tatted heart. ( emiko-kitao-japanese ) this is from Tatting Lace (Japan). Applemints publication. Shuttle embellished by Diane. ( Lace Lovin Librarian ).

I also purchased Marilee's heart pattern, Heart Aglow. ( Yarnplayer's Etsy )

... looking forward to tatting the lovely hearts. Have you seen it? Pendent, bracelet, earrings ...

DAY EIGHT ......

A pet sitting down -- the tail a bit of a puff? (Clover brand shuttles embellished by The Lace-Lovin Librarian ....

http://lacelovinlibrarian.blogspot.com/.

little chick? duck? (Sunlit shuttle embellished by Tollway Tatter, Denise W, http://tattingcentral.com/guilds-workshops/tollway-tatters/ )

maybe not .... pastel colors remind me of bunny, chick, soft Spring critters.

ooooo .... a hat -- a special hat. (hat is a magnet - needle minder from GF Beth )

No? Perhaps we are tatting a bump on a log! ( frogger made by Barbara , Tollway Tatter http://tattingcentral.com/guilds-workshops/tollway-tatters/ )

DAY
SEVEN

So, now we are getting somewhere .....

Fish -- with a fin? Shark? Anyone hear the theme music from Jaws?

would be fun to tat up a school of fish. And before I am asked, the fish shuttles (for sale thru the Tatting Corner and Handy Hands, perhaps other places) were designed by Sherry Townsend. "The eye is Mother-of-Pearl and the tail is used as a pick." In my photo, the Golden Horn & Dark Horn are shown. And, guess what? There is an Albino horn, too --- yep, I cannot wait to have it in hand. Link:

https://www.hhtatting.com/detail.cfm?ID=3815&Desc=Albino%20Horn%20Fish%20shuttle

I pulled out my brown lip shell shuttle and my abalone shuttle - theme in mind, "sea creature", ie squid. maybe mermaid.

When I turned my pastel tatted piece -- I had new ideas:

What about a bouquet of flowers? or, balloons?

Lobster?

------------------- stay tuned. a few more clues in the upcoming days.
