Fox has finished her crocheting and now has some time to play with her tatting. These are some pieces where she was experimenting with shape design and celtic tatting. 
Katie tatted another of the Sweet Heart motifs. This one is done in one of the new Lizbeth colors. She also found some must-have scrapbook supplies for a tiny lunch box that will serve as a new tatting tin.
Rayanna used the teeny tiny shuttles and the pink and blue threads she received in the mail to tat this ring from Marilee Rockley called "Remembrance". Then she did it again in Colors 99 Majesty Mercerized Boil Proof 30 & DMC 992 20 Cebelia with an added accent button with gold stars on it. 
M isn't thrilled with the Tatting Theory & Patterns by Jan Stawasz book. Having to learn his peculiar form of tatting just to complete the designs isn't a lot of fun. 
Viv received her exchange present which included a lovely tatted snowflake among the other goodies.
Mica started this design from "Tatting Patterns" by Mary Konior, in black DMC Special Dentelle 80 some years ago. There were problems with broken thread, issues with a missed picot and concerns over the centre being bowled. But her it is finally in all it's misty glory.
Linda tatted this quick and easy icicle from The Workbasket, June/July, 1990 by Charlene G. Finiello using Aunt Lydia's Crochet Thread size with silver metallic threads. The nativity pattern is from Becky Dempsey and uses mainly Split Rings with a few Josephine Knots and she added a star and gold braid over the top of the cradle. Mrs Santa Clause who was just a plain old lady from Avon with only a red dress but now she has tatted the earrings and Christmas Tree and braids and buttons on her dress.

IsDihara was cruising through the internet and discovered a felt holly corsage that would work perfectly in tatting. Mark's Shuttle Motif in lavender is the basis for some secretive tatting.
Brigitte tatted "Triad" from Mary Konior's book Tatting Patterns with beads and then kind of got stuck because she wasn't sure if she liked the edging which was adapted from Phyllis Klosterman's booklet "Tatting Designs -Edging Collection". She finally finished it and the thread is Size 20 Haekelgarn which is a really nice thread to tat with but the beads are a big disappointment as the paint rubbed off while tatting. The 3 mm beads came in a bead pack from Dollar Tree and have held up well. She wants to attach a charm, pendant or teardrop bead onto the free picot in the center, but isn't sure yet which.

Krystle shows us her latest creations of tatting mounted in resin, first on a ring and then in a bracelet. The thread in the bracelet is Rainbow Brite HDT although it looks somewhat subdued by the resin. The green bracelet is her latest creation to go into her Etsy store.

Aileen had a computer meltdown and while waiting for it to be repaired she tatted these lovely angels. From left to right they are Birch Silco thread (with a blue crown); Gutterman quilting thread (pink crown); Gutterman cotton 12 (pink crown); Gutterman cotton 30 (blue crown); and Gutterman cotton 30 (purple crown). 
Arlene is working on lots of stuff including tatted Christmas balls from JoAnn Stearns book Glass Christmas Balls.

Diane tatted the Second Day of December snowflake from 24 Snowflakes in Tatting by Lene Bjorn in this lovely green Flora just so that she would know how much of the precious HDT to use. She did it again in Sherry's "Country Christmas". Since she had more of the thread she did another of the same snowflake with larger picots, but there isn't a lot of difference. The snowflake is a bit larger than she likes so maybe she'll check her stash for smaller thread.
Heather received Rozella Linden's book Celtic Tatting knots and patterns in the mail and wanted to try it out in her Pink and Brown thread. The 3rd one is one of her design.

Kathy has displayed a lovely wide lace collar that she has used as both a collar and as a lace border on the waist line of a gown. It's always nice to find additional uses for those lace collars as they are so lovely and don't get shown off as much as they should. 
Kelly received a beautiful tatted snowflake in an exchange.
