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..

Motif #·7

I took this pattern from Aunt Ellen book, it s  a clover leaf, tatted with the onion ring technique.I used dmc perle cotton thread, # 8,variegated green,  and as it was a little motif,

 I added a "tail" so it can be use as a bookmark.

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.

Motif # 5

Ill keep on tatting flowers, but this time I decided to make a bookmark, so I took a pattern from the book Aunt Ellen tatting handbook, to make the leaf  and then I added a tail , using the josephine knot . The center of the flower is a ring, with tiny rings, worked in josephine knot, tatting the first half of the double stitch
