MOTIF # 3/25 , # 4/25 and # 5/25 playing with wide picot..

As I was preparing my first own pattern to share in the first 2011 georgia online class..I have tatted again , what i called "lochness monster flower"... As you can see , it is a simple round motif with rings and chains.. but in the chain i have included a wide picot, using Dan rusch tecnique, and inside it a floating ring.. The thread here is dmc perle cotton # 8 in pink and lilac. I also added a zigzag chain with a tassel.

Al tiempo que estuve preparando my primer patron para compartirlo en la 1er clase online en ingles de Georgia, volvi a tejer , lo que llame, Flor Monstruo del Lago Ness. Como ven, es un simple motivo redondo de anillos y cadenas, pero en las cadenas inclui un picot ancho, usando la tecnica de Dan rusch para realizar este tipo picots, y dentro del mismo un anillo flotante.

El hilo es dmc algodon perle # 8 en rosa y lila.

and here I kept on playing with the wide picot, with inner picots. This was called The Lochness monster picot.. aren´t you scare??

segui jugando con el picot ancho, pero con picots internos. Esto lo presento Georgia en una de sus clases y lo llamo.. Picot Monstruo Lago Ness..

Nota: pueden ver el paso a paso para hacer el Picot Monstruo Lago Ness en mi blog y tambien la tecnica para realizar el picot ancho , segun Dan Rusch Fisher , aqui.

Asimismo pueden visitar este link para ver la realizacion de la cadena zigzag.

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.

MOTIF # 16 and # 17 DECORATIVE THIMBLE..and XMAS WREATH..

Here is an easy design of my own.. a decorative thimble... Many lace bobbin makers, use to collect thimbles from any kind of material and made in different tecniques, such as this, a tatted one...

The thead is dmc perle cotton #8 in white...

and a one more xmas ornament.. a red and green wreath.. do you notice the little "berries"?. they are josephine rings and give a cute detail to them... I have used dmc cotton perle 8 in red and green..

If you want to make one of these.. just take a look at the pattern here.

The last pic is the same wreath but hanging outside , in the grape vine...

MORE CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS..MOTIF # 13, # 14 and # 15

Here is a pattern from Nancy Tracy, that you can find on Be stiched website. I used Dmc variegated perle cotton thread nº 8 in green and added some little beads in gold and red colour. I think it is a suitable design to use on a christmas card.

and the other motifs I have tatted , to use on christmas card, are a bell and a little wreath.The thread is dmc nº 8 perle cotton in red .

I have downloaded the pics from the website some time ago.so I dont remember the design author. If someone know them.. please tell me to put it here..
