From the Netherlands, Fish shape tatting shuttle..

ETSY store:   https://www.etsy.com/shop/Banyek.

The enameled copper butterfly piece, 

from Tattered Armadillo, ETSY,

is Butterfly Tatted Edging Pendant.

Up next on my table.   The instructions in the kit, 

c.2020 Gretchen L. Miller,

encourages tatters to "personalize your butterfly as you tat".  Suggested adding seed beads - create bead picots for sparkle, change picot lengths.    So, I'm trying to be creative,

searching thru my beads - and I find this elegant HDT by Marilee, (Blog:  https://yarnplayertats.blogspot.com/) HDT fiber: Link to Marilee's new on line store.

https://goimagine.com/marileestatting/.   Thinking I may use

Marilee's HDT and see how it comes out.    

The little motif, in photo, from Motifs for Marie.

Motif #23.   Lizbeth size 20, Col. 185.

This charming book (copyright Kaye B. Judt 2009) has 

many small motifs.   As far as I am aware, can 

still be purchased thru tatting stores/vendors.

 

The Evening Star Quilt Guild of Anderson IN decided to use tatted motifs for flower centers in their quilt.

The "Marie" is Marie Webster - home in Marion, IN.  I

have not been there. https://quiltershalloffame.net/.

 I've been doing

well emptying shuttles of fiber left overs on the tatting shuttles.

Still have a few to go .... 

 I turn them into the Indiana Lace Chapter, https://lafayettelacemakers.blogspot.com/, Lafayette Lacemakers ... The lace samples are attached to chapter business cards and distributed at public events.
