Flowers, Critters, Bookmarks, Motifs, and Doilies

Magda just finished this doily, with a slight variation in size from the one Patrycja made due mostly to the difference in their tension.

Paige tatted this butterfly with a double picot in size 20 Tropical Punch. She's been working on a window ornament/dream catcher for her Mom and plans for the butterfly to be the central feature. She's at the third row on Mom's Pink Doily. The center row is a variegated green, possibly Christmas Green Mix? from Lizbeth and the second row is Christmas Green.

Orsi goes through the dressmaking process of plan, pattern, cut and this time there is also lace making It's a lovely pairing of pure cotton and silk shantung.
Sue tatted the lovely Star-Shaped Snowflake from Tatted Snowflakes by Vida Sunderman in size 10 thread.

Carolyn tatted Jon Yusoff's Foldover Bookmark in Flora HH color 53 size 20.
NancyD tatted this trim called 'Coronet' from the book 'A Pattern Book of Tatting' by Mary Konior in HDT size 20 from Linda Mattox on ETSY.

Steph tatted a new pattern by Martha Ess,the hornet, one of her new block critters.
Fox pulled this motif tatted in Rainbow Brite out of the cupboard and used it on her business cards to promote tatting and displayed it in the shop. This pattern from Jon's book done in white with blue beads came out lovely and was fun to tat. The pattern from Iris Niebach's site was tatted in one of Dr. Von Threadmore's HDT and bugle beads.
Heather made this pendant for her daughter, but it's gone missing and she thinks the dog may have gotten it. She's also been tatting with wire and experimenting with string art. She did some test needle tatting for Martha to see if the designs being used for Palmettos could be needle tatted. Then she tried out one of Martha's new block tatted critters which was also a success.

Krystle has the first of her baby line started, but it may take a little tweaking to get the spacing right.

Cindy finds tatting good therapy for stressful times. Creating art and the end result of beautiful lace is just the by product. The Flat Flower Motif from Tatting Patterns by Lyn Morton worked in Krystledawne's Be Mine HDT, size 30 an entertaining diversion while waiting for hubby to get out of surgery.
Vinnie has created yet another fresh, light, summery, design using light blue green shiny seed beads on white thread in a rings only pattern with a transparent mother of pearl polished button for a closure. Stunning!
Bonnie started Kersti's Sweet Heart Tatted Bookmark for International Tatting Day, but she didn't quite get it finished. Since then she has completed several and added a slight modification of her own.

Ellen made a set of fabric flower brooches a tatted paperclip butterfly and some smalled tatted flowers as embellishment for the card for a colleague who was leaving. Heather has posted a PDF of her tatted half marbles all done in various sizes.
Krystle shares more pictures taken at the Shuttlebirds event. The "Spring Fires" bookmark from Karey Solomon's class, in which she learned block tatting and a new method of SLT. Project two is a celtic motif. Round one was tatted with one of Ladyshuttlemaker's metal shuttles, and part of round two was tatted with one of her personal ceramic shuttles that she was taking for a test drive. The folded ring angel was made in Sherry's class. Check out the people pics on Krystle's blog. Have you ever seen so many people smiling from ear to ear? Sherry has a new reason to tat. It has 10 fingers and 10 toes and wants to be dressed in pink.

Hearts, Shuttles and New Techniques

Vinnie made a lock shaped motif in block tatting using two techniques. Jane Eborall's for the center and Martha Ess for the outer rings.

Tattingchic has two of Georgia's tatting shuttles on display as well as a work in progress that I think a lot of us will recognize.

Anne has done a piece of homework from the on-line tatting class from last year but instead of using Coronation Cord she used ribbon. Very pretty Anne.

Diane ended up with some unexpected free time so she used it to tat some edging to use up the thread on a few shuttles she has. Very nice shuttles Diane.

Wally is really in the mood for tatting hearts. Motif 14 and 15 are designed by Jon Yusoff and are called Jon's Heart and Heart's Entwined. Motif's 16 and 17 are Two Hearts as One designed by Martha Ess and where meant to be woven together but Wally lost the directions so she left them separate. They look very nice on there own Wally.
