New Tatting tools & fiber to try .... 

 

Intermediate Tatting - 2nd session

 In our 2nd session (zoom via The Lace Museum virtual education, we learned floating rings, split rings, self closing mock rings --and with the beads, can create a bracelet.    Also, suggested we use her patterns and add beads to our charms.  (stay tuned)

For practice pieces, I used Lizbeth size 20 - Color 622 & Color 614.

Lace Bits .... Clover clips

I didn't know .... that Clover made these smaller size clips.

I had the Jumbo clips, and the Medium sized clips,

but this smaller size, recently acquired,  -- they are THE BEST.

Who knew?  My third helping hand ... 

Can get them 

easily thru Amazon,

and local craft stores.
