Frivolite and fantasy fun

I have lots of updates for you today.

First of all I've been working on a technique of tatting that is completely new to me - tatting round a plastic ring. In normal tatting you work your double stitches round a core thread but in this case the plastic ring acts as the core thread. This technique involves lots of looping the thread through the middle. It's slower but creates a wonderful end result!

For this one I used silver cotton thread, lots of tiny seed beads and a lovely celtic charm. This piece is a limited edition of four (I have very few of these charms). The first two went up on Etsy recently and then were snapped up very quickly! The third one is up for sale here.
 
I've also just listed a pair of cream and gold earrings using the same technique. This is my first one of a kind piece. These would look lovely with a prom dress or perhaps a corset. Buy the pair here.
 

 

I also have another pendant up on Etsy that uses this design. For this one I used a wonderful hand dyed thread from fellow tatter yarnplayer. Find it here.

  

 

What's next? Well I recently completed and listed my first wrist corsage. This piece is on an elasticated beaded bracelet so it will fit most wrist sizes. This is perfect for proms. Buy it here.

Updates to Etsy shop

Good evening. I've been working all day on my products. I finished some items this morning and then took photos this afternoon. I've decided to list two today and (hopefully) two tomorrow. The first is a unique and elegant Bridal pendant called Christina. Previously I had done the gothic version and I then thought it would be a good idea for my Crystal Wedding Collection too. I replaced the black glass teardrops with clear AB teardrops, used white cotton thread and voila! Here it is:

The second item is a new design that came to me two days ago. I was doodling and noticed that my Katherine/Katarina pattern could be adapted further. I realised it would work as a simple pendant with a flat drop bead dangling from the bottom of the motif. Again this design is very medieval. I tatted it up yesterday and worked out the price but was unable to think of a suitable name. Today my mum thought it could be called Elaine. This works really well as Elaine was King Arthur's half-sister (if you believe wiki). I don't know if this is true but it ties in with my medieval/fantasy designs, so kudos to my mum! Here it is:

I think this design would look wonderful in any colour so I might do just that. Watch this space!

I shall try to blog again tomorrow.
