I love shuttle tatting. I actually prefer shuttle tatting to needle tatting. Shuttle tatting is a little harder than tatting with a needle. Since I've already done a needle tatting post I decided to do a post about shuttle tatting for beginners. Tatting is a beautiful old-fashioned art and it has been around for centuries.
If you have not read Sharon's post Are You a Shuttle Hoarder --- head on over!!! What a hoot. Sharon blogs at Sharon's Tatted lace. Motif #5 in Lizbeth 632 and Lizbeth 663 Motif #6 in Lizbeth 615 and Lizbeth 632 - tension, tension, tension. + a few doodles! I like to have empty shuttles. And, I must be a hoarder. I seem to own a bunch - and like the variety of colors, sizes and styles. From: Motifs for Marie by Kaye B Judt Saw this on facebook, went to a few Target stores - and found one. Too cute ; ) I see on the box there is a collection of FIVE. The other four look to be the same doll in different clothing. Would be nice to see the clothing sold separately. I'm just sayin.
Egy újabb motívum, színes, mert ebben a 25-ös körben, csak színesek lesznek:-) Egy kicsit nagy lett, kisebbet szerettem volna, de majd a következő! This is my next colorful motif. It is a little bit big, so next one will be smaller.
It looks like I will have to wait until after the Holidays before resuming Inkscape posts. I didn't realize how busy I would be trying to get everything done. Here is another last minute tatted gift. This one is based on an edging from the old Priscilla Tatting Book #2. It is tatted in Lizbeth size 80 Vineyard Harvest: I turned the edging the opposite way from what is shown in the book. In addition, I had to make some minor adjustments to the stitch count and add corners to create a bookmark. Having some experience in designing really comes in handy when altering antique patterns. I used to get really frustrated because I didn't know what to do when antique patterns didn't work out. Now it's just like I'm fixing up one of my own patterns to get it to lay flat. The Priscilla Tatting Books are all in the public domain, so these patterns are available for free. For those who are interested in creating this bookmark, I've drawn up a diagram with the stitch counts. Right click and open the image in a new tab to see the numbers clearly. This bookmark works up very large, so I recommend it for tatters who like to use small threads. Size 80 works great, and I wouldn't go any larger than size 40 for this one. Muskaan asked what size the bookmark is when it's finished. Using size 80 thread, my bookmark measures 1.5 inches wide and 6 inches long (though length will vary depending on the number of repeats chosen). In size 20 thread, the bookmark is 2.25 inches wide, and can be as long or as short as you want it.

It has been a while, but I am still tatting. I have completed my first two rounds of the mystery doily and am about half way with the third. A little pressing with the steam iron was all that was needed after the second to lay flat! I was impressed. Picture has been modified to show the colors against a white background. They are actually lighter in color than shown here. I am also working on a lanyard. The pattern is by Patti Duff. It is coming along well. The thread is called Tigerlicious hand-dyed by Jess (aka Tat-ilicious) in size 20. For the November Snowflake Tat-It Challenge, I have designed and tatted a simple snowflake. I have another two on paper but have not had a chance to tat them. I will be posting the pattern for the snowflake sometime next month. Need to diagram it first and block the snowflake I made so it looks nicer. I purchased some Sulky halographic thread the other day, I plan on using this with some white thread for a small angel. Stay tuned to see how that turns out.

This is a pic of 2 dragons I tatted. The patterns are by Anne Bruvold and here are the links: http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2009/annebringtrimmikrodrageeng.pdf This is for the little dragon, Ringtrim http://www.nuperelle.net/drager/monstre/MinidragerEng.pdf This is for the larger dragon Anne has done a fantastic job of designing these patterns. I have a book with some dragon patterns for sale at my stores by Karey Solomon. I haven't tried any of them but if you're a dragon lover like me you may want to get a copy.
Sea Turtles Found this adorable pattern on Jane's site. They were made with Messy Jessy thread. Looks like they are heading to the ocean. They are going to be changeable earrings. Finally a little tatting done.
These are the newest patterns from Jane Eborall. Thank you so much Jane. Aren't they adorable? I love how the back legs are formed and the stretching is so life-like. I suppose you can pose them however you like during blocking. I added a yellow bead for the eye and a pink one for the nose. And in the second one I added double picots for the ears. I wanted them to be extra pointy.

I've been taking a bit of a break from tatting this week, so I don't have anything new to show, sorry. I'll show you an older piece, though. This is "Lucky Clover" from Tatting Patterns and Designs by Gun Blomqvist and Elwy Persson. I've been thinking about this one lately because Diane is currently tatting it in blue. I used DMC 80; I don't remember the color numbers, but I remember being pretty excited to find that the dark shade on the variegated thread matches the solid thread exactly. I was going through a phase at the time where I wanted everything to be variegated, so I'm really glad that I chose to use the solid for most of this piece. Having the whole thing variegated would be overwhelming, although I do think it makes a nice accent on the outer round. Being a fairly new tatter at the time, I was also not really confident about securing my ends, so I used to use Fray Check. If you click to enlarge this, you'll see why you're not supposed to do that. Fortunately, it only shows if you look very closely, and I've learned my lesson. In other news, I've been invited to play at Weems Artfest, which is a pretty big deal around here. I really consider myself primarily a professional harpist just working another job to pay the bills. The reason I need that other job is because I'm completely useless at self-promotion and therefore hardly ever get gigs. I really have to thank my friend and fellow harpist Kathy Wimmer, whose recommendations have gotten me several gigs, including this one. Next post will be number 100!

I wondered how I should title this post, "How would you tat if all your work was scanned?", "Wabi Sabi Tatting", "Is perfection what it is cracked up to be?" Many of you thought I was trying to prove a point, but that is not why I did this little poll. I did it purely to satisfy my own curiosity. Are people naturally attracted to one type of tatting over another? With the advent of the Internet and scanners, our work can be more highly scrutinized than ever before. Many of you guessed that there was frontside/backside tatting involved here...but I tell you now, there is MORE than that going on in this example. Thank you to everyone who voted. At the time of this post there were 172 votes; essentially 75% of people liked example A. and 25% liked example B. better. Frankly I was surprised that 1 in 4 people liked example B. better and that made me wonder if they were trying to prove the point that they don't care for frontside/backside tatting. But overall it seems like people are more attracted to "perfection". As a Master tatter I feel an obligation to share my knowledge and strive for my personal best in tatting.....BUT.... I will say this and you can quote me, "I don't care one iota how other people tat". If you are tatting at all then I am super stoked on you! Nope....I'm not one of those who gets my panties in a wad over these little details. I will never judge someone else's tatting...(unless I'm getting paid to do so.) So, from a teacher's perspective, and for those who DO like to get caught up in all the details, the following may be of interest. Firstly we will address the obvious frontside/backside differences. So in case anyone is lost, example A. is tatted with all the little tricks I will be covering. And example B. is just your everyday normal old school style of tatting. You can tell the difference between frontside/backside tatting. Example B. has the half stitch where the chain starts. If you care, this is extremely simple to remedy, just reverse the order of your stitches on your chains. Another way to tell the difference between frontside/backside tatting is how your picots look. Did you know that there is a front and a back to a picot? ...and I don't think this even needs an explanation. Now on to the other tricks. Dropping your shuttle through your ring before closing it does make a slight difference. You can see in example A. that doing this forces that last stitch to the front so you can see it whereas in example B. it gets a little twisted and becomes lost. And finally....and probably my new favorite is KrystleDawn's method of the LHPJ "Larks Head Picot Join", which as she puts it, "Puts the belt on the pants of the double stitch"...or something to that effect. Feel free to chime in Krystle! I swear, every time I do this stitch I think to myself, "How in the world did she come up with this...she must be some kind of mad genius!" Anyhow, with just a little bit of practice all these things are quite simple and can become part of your normal tatting.....or not. It's up to you and you are the most important and most qualified judge of your own tatting! The bottom line is that tatting should be fun and enjoyable so tat the way that makes you the happiest!!!!!
