MOTIF # 5

Searching for an easy xmas wreath I found one by Ruth Perry, a celtic wreath . Though the word "celtic" sometimes scare us , its really easy to make.

My first attempt was this one, without beads...

and then , when I was sure with the ds count (i was using # 8 perle cotton thread) I added beads to the chains and the rings...

Motif # 6 -

Im not used to make my own designs, but this time I tried to make a leaf, using only a shuttle, not looking at any pattern and this is my result, a tiny leaf , only rings.Its a beginning! I like the result , so I tatted one more and added a little flower with multipicots. I think this could be my motif #6, a little bunch with leaves and flower.

My first entry..introducing myself

Well, this will be my first entry in this blog. I like to do many different crafts, such as tatting, bobbin lace making, basketmaking, aboriginal loom ,... selftaught in most of them. 

 But this will be dedicated to tatting-frivolite. I decided to have one here because, first of all, i like tatting and i would like to join the 25motif challenge too. I think its a great idea to get practice

 and to learn new tecniques, too, and

 the most important , meet people from other countries who shares the same interests.

My native language is spanish, not english, so I hope I get by very well in this one.

I have joined the ning group Frivolite en español, owned by Wally Sosa, a great person, and really a good teacher!!, and most recently the etatters group in ning too., a fantastic group , too.

Another interest challenge that catch my attention is the TYAs, but I think Ill need a 50 hourday to do all I want!!.......

I end this first entry with some photos of my first challenge in the spanish group,  learn and improve my celtic tatting( pattern from Rozella Linden book, a master in this tecnique!!.....)...
