"Vibrato" HDT

The colors in this hand dyed thread seem to vibrate back and forth, so it seems that "Vibrato" is a good name. Magenta and cerulean blue, shading from dark to light in both colors.I tatted some "Vibrato" thread into another "Belle" pendant (original design, not written up yet).

"Beguile" bracelet with spiral in hand dyed thread

I discovered that a bead could be in the center of a spiral shape. I started out sort of like a mock ring with bead in center. Then I continued a chain around in a spiral shape - I think the shape might properly be called an "Onion Ring" or "Catherine Wheel", but, busy as I've been, I haven't taken the time to research it.I did use Catherine Wheel joins to very small picots, to keep the lines

"Midnight Oil"

While my family and I were visiting the Olbrich Botanical Gardens, my husband noticed this flower and remarked, "Hey, that looks like that thread you just dyed!" I agreed, until I got home and saw that my "Midnight Oil" thread is really very much darker! There are so many unusual colors and designs in plants! Being in a beautiful garden is so calming and peaceful, it seems to me. And, more

Bracelet ideas and experimenting with spirals

Here are a few of my latest "experiments" with bracelet design. The design in the dark ecru I call "Beguile", and it seems to work okay as a bracelet. Or - is it an upside-down tiara?I started with a strip of pearl tatting (size 20, Lizbeth cotton) and then embellished it. There are some split rings at the end, to make the bracelet adjustable. The tatted loop just fits over the bead. I'm

Love the picture of the beginning of your Flowery Cross with your hand dyed thread. I'm fascinated by the shuttle. What's the story behind it?

I couldn't find a way to email you so I want to leave a message for you here. I received my copy of Boutique Tatting a couple of days ago and I wanted to tell you what a fine publication it is. It is so professionally done-the photography is wonderful. Your graciousness in permitting your readers to make and sell any of the designs is a boon to those of us who want to make and sell tatted jewelry but don't share your talent for design. Thanks so much for such a quality publication. It was well worth the price and then some.

Oh, your "Bedazzled Butterfly" is wonderful! It deserves a lot of compliments! I saw it on your Etsy shop too! You could probably sell it for a lot more!
Thank you for your kind comment about my tatting. :)

WOW! The butterly in white with beads is spectacular! (Yes I thought of another adjective, LOL!). I was surprised to see you tatting it in white, as I know you had mentioned you were tired of it after a while, but it sure is fabulous! I'm so glad you broke down and did it in white thread. Sometimes there is no comparison to white!
