Motif # 15 and #16..Georgia classes has just began!!

Well, as most of you know, Georgia´s classes on line have just began, and I was very anxious about it , to begin the year learning more about tecniques.

The first class was about overcrocheted picot and interlaced picots and this was my result in this new challenge,

... these kind of flowers.. pansy may be? using interlaced picots, in both cases. Just added three little green rings on the center , to give a good look to them.

I like this idea to make more clasp (do you call clasp , that is used on the hair, like the pink one? .. . . im leak on english words...)

You can find Georgia´s classes here .  and  a very clear explanation on this teccnique from  Patty Dowden here

Motif # 14

I go on finishing some projects I had left aside , so this bookmark is one of them.I´ve only the green part tatted, the long chain with a lot of picots in it. I saw it in some place , surfing the web, but I dont remember whose is it. If someone can tell me , I put the name here. 

So looking at the picture, I take note of the number of stiches and did my tat.

The little flowers make a good combination....

Motif # 12 and # 13.. bookmarks

I was involved in some loom weaving,(you can visit my other blog  www.rinconartes.blogspot.com  in spanish) so thats the reason I had not posted any tatting. But now Im back here and was inspired by Teri´s tatting in my bookmarks shown below.

 I was making some proofs, because i dint have the pattern of this floral bookmark ,(part of it is in the photo shown above, in green and pink) to know how many stiches I had to tat, using dmc nº 8   and the result is on this brown bookmark, where I repeated the same motif twice. Rings, split rings picots, 

               

And this is from another pattern by Teri dusenbury. I used rings,split rings, Smcr in the flower, chains. The original has tree motifs, but I did two..

 So these  will be my motifs #12 and  # 13 for this challenge. 

MOTIF # 11

Its going slowly my 25motif challenge , but go on with it , so I was looking for a simple pattern I could tat in a short time and found  this cute tree by Ellen Lai. I really like it . 

My problem with it was my choice of the thread , cause at last I tat with a green dmc perle #8 and the pattern was made with a thicker thread, and , as I didnt modify the number of ds,  picots size... in some parts of the tatting I get in trouble, so tiny spaces to tat and the tecniques: split chain , split rings

but i like the result..

I ll try to tat it with a thread ·20 , it will look better and easy to make!! 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Hi again, I have not posted in this month. So busy for me!!

I was envolved in some sewing because my other favourite craft is country crafts and this year decided to make another Christmas wreath. It is said we have to add a new ornament every year, so this was my new one...

 but I want to begin with my sincere greetings for this holidays!! HAPPY HOLYDAYS FOR ALL!!  I must to be grateful to all the person who take its time to visit this blog and leave a comment, that really make me happy. It encourage me to go on doing the things I like  and learn more day by day..

So , although it not tatting, here I  leave my best wishes for you, and a photo of my modest christmas tree...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!  FELICES FIESTAS!!!

Motif # 10

 Georgia's classes on line begin again!!!! and this is the project of the second class, a bookmarkby Eliz Davis - This bookmark uses multiples shuttles, multiple colors, rings, chain, split rings, scmr.... wow.. what a training!! 

and the result is here!

Back side and front side of the bookmark. A really lovely motif!

I used thread Omega  n 10, variegated orange, and Dmc traditions n 10, color blue and yellow.

Here again.... Motif # 8-9

After a few weeks, here im again. I had an alergy in my eye , so I couldnt do almost nothing, but now , Im returning with some tatted works.  It was such a problem cause I dont use glasses,but contact lens, so, It was impossible to tat nothing!! and either couldnt use the pc,.. so..... I got a little crazy!!!  jajaj..... 

Let me show you the things I was tatting.....

As i told you , im taking wally'spanish online classes, and we reviewed the Daisy Picot tecnique, so I looked for this pattern, from Jane Eborall, just lovely butterflies. These were a good example to practice this tatting method...

Here you can find the pattern

The other motif is from Wally' page , a  beautiful daisy, tatted with the same tecnique.  The only thing I couldnt manage were the picots!! they are so rebel!!! jaaja, 

To make the stem and the leaves, i used the encapsulated tecnique, cause at this point i have several threads to hide! ¿what do you think of these flowers??

So these will be my new motifs for this 25 challenge..
