Motif # 18., # 19..# 20,·#21..hearts

In the same class were we saw the microdragon, there was a pattern surprise!!. From now on , on Georgia site, she will put a pattern each month.

February´s were these lovely heart from Ellen Lai....

  Really lovely to make little gifts!! 

Motif # 17.. microdragon

Last monday, on georgia´s classes we reviewed SSSR technique, single shuttle split ring, very new for me and she came with a very cute example to tat, a microdragon form Anne Bruvold.

Here is mine, with some rebel picots!! It begin with a normal ring, at the tail, then sssr along its body. I think I could tat a lot of it, cause they are so cute!!!

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!!
