Star in Clover

This Star was designed by  Jon Yussoff  and I tatted it using Lizbeth no 20 in this pretty blue.  Stars sometimes twinkle blue don't they ?  I like the little star in the middle with the clean lines as well as the elaborate outside one.  

Editha

This  lovely snowflake was designed by Christiane Eichler.   She named it Editha.   I tatted it in no 20 Lizbeth .  The colour is blue but it hasn't come out very well in the photo.

Merryment Doily

Another version of Merryment doily designed by Jon Yussoff.  This time tatted in Lizbeth no. 20  in a variegated yellow.  Looks entirely different from the Christmas decoration.

Christmas Decoration

I tatted this as a Christmas Tree Decoration in an HDT called Rainbow Bright by Tatskool.  She used Coats 60.  In these colours it makes a lovely Tree decoration.  
The pattern is called Merryment doily and designed by Jon Yussoff

Another Christina's Angel

Another Christina's Angel from Mark Myers' book Tatted Gathering of Angels.
I decided to tat this one in brighter colours.  Still Lizbeth no 20, but in a pretty blue for her dress.

Christina's Angel

I tatted Christina's Angel for a Christmas Swap on forums America.  The pattern is in Mark Myers' book,  Tatted Gathering of Angels.  I have used Lizbeth threads in  no 20.  A variegated green for her dress.  She looks quite delicate, I think. 

Seahorse Dragon

This Seahorse Dragon is designed by Anne Bruvold, adapted from a  Seahorse pattern by Debbie Arnold.  If you just want the seahorse, then leave off the wings. I really like the wings though.


I tatted it using a variegated thread by Lizbeth  in no. 20.    I love seahorses and it seemed to need those greeny blue sea type colours.  Aren't they gorgeous.

Yellow Daisies

This is the latest version of my Daisy Wheel Doily.  I used white for the first two rounds and then a variegated yellow.  The thread is Flora 20.  In this case, I think the variegated thread adds to the design, instead of taking it over, as it can do.

Chinese Dragon

This Chinese Dragon was designed by Anne Bruvold .  It is tatted in a variegated Lizbeth 20.  It wasn't an easy pattern to follow, as I find diagrams better.  The colours look pretty good though and I am pleased with the way it turned out.   There is a choice of the sun in it's mouth or a pearl.  My dragon has a pearl.

Three Steps to a Daisy Wheel Doily

These three little doilies show the process that  I followed to the final Daisy Wheel Doily design, at the bottom.  
The multicoloured doily at the top left, is the first design with two rounds of chains in it.  The second round of the design is a chain and the circle of larger rings towards the  outside of the design are joined by chains.  
The second, green, doily has those joining chains taken out, by making the large rings, split rings. The third and final doily, in lilac, has the first chain round in the design, taken out as well. It is a much more open design now, more negative space.
