No. 13....


Decided to do another motif from Jon Yusoff's book called 'Elegant Tatting Gems'.  This one is titled 'ratnasari'.  I did it in a solid color this time.  Lizbeth size 20, Magenta, drk #618.  I also really like this one, and I didn't have to think quite as hard with this one.

No. 12...

I have just finished my another motif from Jon Yusoff's book 'Elegant Tatting Gems'.  This was another one that made me really pay attention.  This one is called 'almas'.  I used Lizbeth size 20, #114 called Sea Shells.

No. 11...


The one is from Jon Yusoff's new book called "Elegant Tatting Gems".    I found all of them so elegant, but my eye caught strongly on 'ratnawilis' to be my first one.    I used Lizbeth #20, thread #140 called Country Grape Swirl.  I like making the larger rings around the outside.   Found them to be a very clever idea.  I want to remake this one using a solid color.

No....10

This was a free pattern.  I don't know if this link is still available, but here is where I had gotten it from.
http://birgitstatting.blogspot.com/search/label/button  I use Lizbeth size 20.  Just to show you how it looks in different colors.  In the original picture, I had no pattern count with this one, I had the head smaller, so I increased it a bit.  I then liked it better.  I also think she came out with the pattern and a count on it later, but I don't have that, sorry!

No. 9....

A Tatted bookmark from Karey Solomon's book 'Tatting with Buttons'.  I still would like to see a tail on this one, but I have to figure something out yet without ruining the looks of the finish.


NO. 8....

I just picked these up from the internet.  Then I wanted to do some on my own or from my book  My friends just love them.  I came home empty handed and now I start over...







No. 7...

This pattern came from L. Trumble, This 'n' Tat.  I used Lizbeth size 20, called Linen - Med.  I don't know what it was, but when I saw this one, I just had to tat it.  I spayed a button gold, but it just didn't match up with the thread.
