Tatted Icicles: "Drop Icicle 1"

 

Drop Icicle 1

Pattern by Carolyn R (member of Lafayette Lacemakers).

Next:   "Drop Icicle 2" kit to tat.

The drop icicle is tatted with Size 20 Lizbeth (white fiber) and beautiful beads.   

I think they are 2mm Bicone beads.    

Carolyn made kits which had the shuttles wound with the beads!! (yay).

Tatted Icicles: "Drop Icicle 1"

Saturday, had Tatting instruction and started an original pattern

Drop Icicle 1

by Carolyn R (member of Lafayette Lacemakers).

It was/is a very nice pattern.    Excellent diagrams.   

Not much to show for the tatted project, but will continue and finish it.

I also have "Drop Icicle 2" kit to tat.

The drop icicle is tatted with Size 20 Lizbeth (white fiber) and beautiful beads.   

I think they are 2mm Bicone beads.    

Carolyn had the shuttles wound with the beads!!  Yay.  So we had more time for tatting instruction, going over the pattern, tips for the beads, adding beads to fiber, etc ... and started the piece.

For the next couple of meetings (May & June) the programs will be on Ice Drops. 

Tatted [Rings/Chains/Beads & some with split rings/beads]

and also patterns for Bobbin Lace Ice Drops. 

In addition, Bobbin Lace ornaments w/beads (I think 3 patterns).   

I saw all the designs/patterns - totally GOBSMACKED.   

We will be busy lacemakers this Spring.

Cannot wait until next meeting of the Lafayette Lacemakers.

And if you are in the neighborhood, stop in.

Tatting Picot Challenge ....

From the Facebook Group (and I quote):

"Game of the Month ---- PICOT ME ENDRUCKS April 2024

Life is Bliss butterfly (E32) Antonia Lai has simple lines with hardly any decorative picots. https://drive.google.com/.../1F_2y-JQn.../view

·  We are asking you to decorate it with ornamental picots!

·  You can use the same type of picot throughout the motif, or use a combination of picots to create even more interesting effects.

·  You can place your picots anywhere you wish.

· There are sooooo many beautiful picots to choose from, that you don’t even need beads for embellishment!

·  This is also an opportunity to get to know and learn a new technique.

If you wish to find tutorials and videos, here are a few steps you can take –
