A special thank you to those who came here, commented, joined my blog. However, this has become too much for me. I'm an artist first and a tatter second I guess. So, I am dismantling this site. Had there been more enthusiasm perhaps I would have plugged away at it, but I feel the loss of this blog is no great thing to anybody.

The first Christmas Snowflake 2012

Its not too soon to start tatting for Christmas. It will be here before we know it. I have two patterns today. This is actually the center of the large snowflake, but is a snowflake in its own right:

Simply Elegant Edging

A Simple Little Edging:

This is great for beginners or needle tatters....a simple edging that will look good on just about anything. I've used size 30 Cebelia.

Shuttle & ball: R 3 ds, p, 3 ds, 3 p sep by 1 ds, 3 ds, p, 3 ds, CLR. *Turn work. Ch 5 ds, 3 p sep by 1 ds, 5 ds, Turn Work. R 3 ds, j to last p of last R, 3 ds, 3 p sep by 3 ds, 3 ds, p, 3 ds CLR. * Repeat * to * until you reach the desired length.

Note that on my work I made the center picos large - you can do yours all the same size or like mine.

Enjoy!

Happy Tatting

Simple Tatted Flower

This is just a simple tatted flower. Not much in white but you sure can use green for the stem and leaves, maybe yellow for the center and a color for the petals and that would make it pop. I tat these things then they go into a box and I don't see them again. I keep them simply for future books or articles I wish to make.

This is tatted in size 30 white Cebelia. It measures about 4 1/2" long and 3" wide. I think if I did it again it would look better in size 20 thread.

A fresh new medallion for a brand new year. I just felt like using my David Reed wooden shuttle so sat down and tatted up this medallion in size 10 thread. The shuttle is a larger one that I ordered specifically for larger size threads.

Here is the medallion - or small doily. It measures approximately 5 inches across and is, of course, super easy - so you new tatters get your shuttle.
