But I like the result now. What on earth could it be?
And I made these two bookmarks, nothing new although I tried my Brazilian thread on the simple heart. I like it although it's kind of slippery.
Next I'm going to try the heart that Frivole diagrammed. Can't you see these as earrings?

Lovely tatting! I haven't started the T.I.A.S. yet. We celebrated my great-nephew's first birthday and my mom's 80th birthday this weekend... much more important than lace!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tatting, Michelle!

Beautiful bookmarks! I love the varieties of 'tails' and tassels that everyone designs!
ReplyDeleteLovely bookmarks...fun to see :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your bookmarks too! That's Elizabeth Zipay's cross, isn't it? It looks striking in that rich blue. Is the tail braided or tatted?
ReplyDeleteI think the internet has opened up so many possibilities for us. I was introduced to the Net when I was learning tatting but I've heard of so many people who tatted for years before the internet and how it introduced so many new things to them. In the meantime, I've watched as so many new techniques and new ways of doing old techniques have exploded the world of tatting into a new art form!
ReplyDeleteBeauitful bookmarks, Yes I can see them as earrings.
ReplyDeleteI am doing day three of the TIAS but the mock ring is too loose so I have to uunpick it never mind it will give me another chance to get it right.

Your "Tatted Cross" is wonderful ...I just can't make it better in the vsp section joining,mine is kind of "crooked" in one side there...must make it again and again.
ReplyDeleteThe Brazilian thread is shiny and really beautiful , what brand is it ? needs starching ?
Great bookmarks!! I love the cross! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work! Can you point me to the pattern for the second bookmark? I have a friend who likes "something hanging out of both ends of the book" and that would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis one is from Victats- I'm sorry I didn't include the link in the post (lazy!) Here it is: http://victats.blogspot.com/2009/10/simple-heart.html I just made up the end. : )
