MOTIF # 23, 24/25 MINITATS.. ANOTHER 25 MOTIF CHALLENGE FINISHED!

Estos mini motivos son del libro Minitats por Pati Duff. Son 69 tejidos que se pueden realizar con poca cantidad de hilo y son realmente bonitos . Utilice para tejerlos hilo Anchor perle  # 8 en color blanco.Pienso que se verian geniales como  pequeños copos de nieve para  adornar   nuestro arbolito de navidad.. ¿que piensan ustedes?

These small motifs are from the book Minitats, by Patti Duff, They are 69 tatted motifs, with a little amount of thread and they are realle cute! 

I have used Anchor perle thread # 8 in white. I think they would look great as little snowflakes for our christmas tree ¿what do you think?

Begining my 3rd Challenge!! Motif # 1/25 and # 2 /25

Comienzo un nuevo desafio, el tercero , en tejer 25 motivos en frivolite..

Pero primero quiero mostrarles la tarjeta que envie a mi amiga conchi de españa. en el intercambio de navidad del grupo amigas del bolillo. AHi coloque varios de los motivos que ya les mostre que fui tejiendo para estas navidades.

I begin my 3erd 25 motif challenge!

But first i want to show you the xmas postcard that i sent to my spanish friend, conchi. It was a xmas exchange and for this pop-up card i have used the motives that i have been tatting along the past days..

y tambien , entre otros regalitos, le teji este copito de nieve, al cual le agregue perlitas verdes y rojas..

An also, with other gifts, I sent this tatted little snowflake, with red and green beads...

Y aqui les muestro lo ultimo , un brazalete, diseño de Totus Mel, que lo hice para mi hija , asi lo puede estrenar en año nuevo.. Visiten su blog, tiene unos diseños muy originales .. Use hilo Pilar , algodon color rosa, aproximadamente, seria un numero 10.

And her i show you my last work, a slave bracelet, a Totus mel pattern , that i have tatted for my little daughter. so she can used it on new year´s eve. The thread is Pilar, cotton in pink , # 10.

Visit totus mel blog! she has amazing tatted works!!

De manera que estos son mis primeros 2 motivos de este nuevo desafio 2010!

MOTIF # 21, # 22 and # 23.. ANOTHER SPIDER

Me gusto tanto esta arañita. que ahora le agregue una perlita en su pancita y la muy picara estuvo merodeando sobre el cestito de carandillo!.. Tambien les muestro otro copito de nieve. hecho en hilo dmc blanco # 8, y un caramelo bastoncito hecho en dos colores. El hilo que use en este ultimo tambien es dmc perle # 8 en blanco y rojo.

Solo me faltan 3 motivos mas para alcanzar mi segundo desafio de 25 motivos tejidos!!

I really liked terry nimer´s spider , that i tat another but added a bead in its body and found her going around my little carandillo basket! what a naughty one!

Back to christmas motives, here is another snowflake , tat in dmc # 8 in white and a candy cane in two colours, red and white, both dmc perle cotton #8...

Only 3 more to reach my second 25 motif challenge!!!

MOTIF # 18 # 19 and # 20 ... A SPIDER CALLED VIOLET!!

Just more christmas tatted ornaments. For the one in green I used Ambar macrame cotton thread. similar to a #10 and for square motif in variegated yellow, dmc perle cotton thread #8.

And here is Violet the spider ( my dear argentinian friend called Mabel gave her its name! )!! It is a pattern from Terry Nimer, who kindly shared it at Georgia´s last 2010 online tatting class. It was tatted with a thread called Pilar (from Paraguay), similar to a # 20, in lila colour and added beads to the legs.

The tecnique used here is Floating chains using SSSCH tecnique. It sounds scary! like the spider!!.. but i think that with practice everyone can master it and tat a lot of these cute spidersssssss... Here you can find the floating chain method, clearly showed by Jane Eborall.

Preparing for Christmas! Motit # 11 and ·#12...

On Nov 15, this pattern was shared by Anne bruvold in the Online Tatting class. The first example is a two color snowflake, where you can practice the SLT (shoe lace trick) to change the colours as the chains and rings are tatted..

you can find the pattern here and have fun tatting it!!

Then, in the Spanish tatting class , Wally gave us a challenge..to tat the same snowflake, but using 3 colours!.. so I took this and also made a little change , adding an extra ring on top of the cloverleaf, using the LTROR ( looped tatted ring on ring). Here is the result....

So this is my return to the 25 motif challenge. hoping I could finish it before the end of the year!

MOTIF # 3 and #4.. more christmas tatting!

I have tatted this candle for a postcard xmas exchange we have in a bobbin lace group. I download this image from the web, but don´t remember the author. I like the colours combination and the effect of the half wreath in the bottom.

And also I sent my partner this lovely snowflake in white, tatted from the book TATTED SNOWFLAKES by Vida Sunderman.

This book have a lot of nice snowflakes to tat for next xmas celebration.

In both cases I used dmc pearl cotton # 8.

MOTIF # 2..waiting for xmas.....

I haven´t blogged for a long time since march!! but im back again here....

I was tatting some christmas motifs and the one I ll show you now is the penultimate Ellen lai pattern of the year.. a cute snowflake clipboomark one!

Here you have mutiple picots, rings, chains and a swirl join to conect the 5 center picots.

It´s a cute gift we can include in our xmas presents.. don´t you think so?

You can find this pattern in georgia´site.
