Bookmark,Snowflake, Horseshoe and an Antique Collar

Shirl has tatted another bookmark to keep on hand for gifts. This one measures 5 1/2 inches in HH Lizbeth thread size 20 color 691.

LauraRose has tatted Jon's Quantiesque snowflake in another Perle 8 thread.

Wanda tatted a horseshoe to go with her horse's head, although it looks a bit more like a U. That kind of thing happens when the family is visiting. She plans to re-do it and tweak the design since the colour doesn't go well with the horsehead she's done.

TattingChic found a wonderful antique tatted collar comprised of medallions with needle lace centres. The individual motifs have been tied together as you would expect in an antique piece, but the outer border is a cloverleaf edging that uses the standard joins. This looks like it might be a transition piece created just at the time when tatters started using joins.

Bookmarks, Bangles, Butterflies and Earrings

Ladydoc joins the challenge with this butterfly tatted in Pearl Crown Rayon.

Vanessa tatted this bookmark in a variegated yellow/white Coats Mercer crochet cotton size 20.Thelma found this pattern on the Bella online site by way of the online tatting class. She's lost the original picture so she's not sure what it was supposed to look like, but the results of her tatting look lovely. Krystle made a pair of earrings using Yarnplayer's Garden Party, first batch with top drilled bi cone Swarovski crystal beads.
Charlotte tats on the go and shows us her tatting corner is really a red silk bag.

Hye-Soon has been busy. She did this tatted version of filet crochet as shown in Mary Konior's Tatting with Visual Patterns which is very effective done in 2 colours. Two more of Mary's patterns are Masquerade which Hye-Soon has made into a mat and Black Magic which is currently bookmark size.

Give Away's, Work Baskets and a Bad Picot

Ellen has a lot to celebrate she received a couple ATC's and made some really nice ones that included tatting. She has designed an owl on a paper clip for the on-line class that is really cute and the pattern is available for everyone. He is also motif #4 of her second 25 motif challenge.

Hearts, Doily, Earrings, Maple Leaf, and Ornaments

IsDihara tatted the SweetHeart pattern by Birgit Phelps in Tatskool's lovely Rainbow Bright HDT in size 20 and did it again in a solid pink thread from an estate sale. Krystle started this lovely doily before the baby was born and it stayed as a UFO because it needed just a little more HDT than she had on the shuttle. The thread is Yarnplayer's Roses and the last round is Scarlet that she dyed to match this colorway. HDT at it's best.

Kelly tatted these earrings in some metallic thread and she liked how they turned out so she learned how to do a beaded center split ring in needle tatting so that she could make a matching bracelet. The set is made in Altin Basak size 30. Bonnie has been away from tatting for a while, then she jumped back on the bandwagon with some of Ellen's tatted paperclips, but they were so fast and easy to do that she has given them away without blogging first. This tatted leaf done in variegated DMC size 30 was the first piece to stay long enough to get it's picture taken. Diane's tatting corner with some tatting essentials, thread, shuttles, computer, good light, comfortable chair. Wally made a couple of sequined ornaments from a pattern I created a few months ago. I remember when she did them her finished pieces were not quite the same size as mine probably because the sequins were a different size and she had to modify the design a little to fit the bangles. The ornaments have given her an idea for a new design.

Hair Clip, Edgings and Tatting Corners

IsDihara, who started Tatting Tea Tuesday has joined the challenge. She not only shows us this week's tea and tatting but she also shares with us a pattern for a dramatic black tatted border that she has tatted in size 70 thread. Does anyone recognize the pattern?

Jewelry, Butterflies, Bugs, and Hearts

Pam is just learning to tat and has decided to jump right in to the challenge. She began with needle tatting and is trying to get a handle on how much thread she needs to have on her needle to finish a project so her first little butterfly has one deformed wing. The next try she made with ample thread. Then it was on to hens and chicks.

Krystle has sealed some lovely little motifs done in HDT in resin to make jewelry but notes that the resin makes the thread colours look wet.
Kathy modified Jon's entwined heart pattern and created a larger enclosed heart. The finished lace has been added to a Victorian shoe Christmas stocking.

Heather has an assortment of new HDT ready including Bali, Waves, Turquoise Violet, Turquoise, Pink for Link, Harvest and Halloween. Heather also has a Mystery Contest going and has tatted some pieces in her new HDT Harvest Time in size 20 and again in Turquoise Violet the size 30.
