Tatting Tea Tuesday November 3, 2009

I didnt get to tat much yesterday because I had the housework to catch up on and I was still worn out but I did manage to get a pair of pretty purple earrings done using Jons technique of encapsulating a ring. This is my own pattern I was just fiddling around... I am really hoping to get some tatting done today I dont have alot of house work to do but still enough. DARN this being sick stuff its for the birds... lol

Have a good Wednesday all!!

1 ringy dingy, 2 ringy dingy and a Celtic Shamrock

lol I may be a bit young but remember lilly tomlin on Laugh in... My mom always loved it, Tiny Tim cracked me up with his TIP TOE THROUGH THE TULIPS :)

Anywhoo lets get to the point of this post :)

Remember Jons tutorial on wrapping a ring with tatting with the needle. I tried it and it worked I love it...

I started one and ran out of thread :( but got bored with it and decided to try a smaller ring its in Mulberry size 30 thread and 1/2" ring my daughter already claimed it she wants me to make the other one to match for earrings... Its not perfect but its my 1st try...

I did a custom dyed thread for a customer she wanted an irish thread with greens golds and black its called Ruth's Irish... I had to tat a shamrock for it, I just had to. I tatted Ruths Celtic Shamrock its not the same lady though. Once I get her seal of approval on the colors it will be made available...

Wrap Stitching around a ring with the NEEDLE

I LOVE JON!! Dont you all too :) She is such a fun lady super nice and SUPER DUPER smart. I been wandering about wrapping the rings as well. I do shuttle tat but prefer the needle because its what I taught myself with I guess its just more comfortable...

Jon has a tutuorial on how to do this with the needle and it didnt take me long to get it last night It was easy and fun!! I am not done but I did get it started She asked that someone test it and I did :)

THANK YOU JON!!!!!!!
