Cecylia

Sometimes I like to tat without any pattern or even any idea… I am tatting just for pleasure… and recently in that way I discovered a new motif. What I like about this motif ?It is very universal. It can be used in earrings, bracelets, necklaces or any doilies, edgings, almost everywhere. I love it very much, so I have developed it in original piece of jewellery.I named it Cecylia to honour my grandmother . She has learn me a lot of crafts (needlework type, like crochet, knitting, cross-stiching, embroidery , etc..

I tatted earrings in dusty pink (I love this colour!) Aida 20, with Swarovski pearls and antique gold earrwires. You can see prototype of bracelet as well on pictures, but I am not happy enough with it, so I definitely will tat another version. What do you think?

Sapphire tatted earrings (in gold)

Still I like very much gold earrings with Swarovski crystals. This time I used the beautiful sapphire crystals. Effect exceeded my expectations. The result is jewellery that reminds me of the Victorian era, the beauty of flowers, gold, precious stones. This is my little tribute to femininity, romance and everything associated with that.I used antique gold thread (I don't know the name), sapphire Swarovski crystals and sterling silver (925) earwires plated 24 carat gold.

I'm trying to learn needle tatting, but I'm not satisfied with the results ... So for now stick to the shuttle ... Have a nice weekend!

Elegant tatted earrings in gold with Jet AB Swarovski crystals

I have made another version of my gold earrings. This time I used a lot of JET AB Swarovski crystals. They match perfectly with this antique gold thread I used. Earwires are silver sterling and plated 24 carat gold. I like it so much, so I have made a matching pendant. Unfortunately I do not have a picture yet.

Tatted set for Pati

Last time I mentioned that I was tatting a black set for my friend’s daughter. I am very pleased with this. I used black Liesbeth thread (size 20), jet AB Swarovski crystals (more than 50) and black classic dagger drops. Inspiration comes from an old insertion found here. I like the effect very much and definitely I will tat the same for myself!

Tatted earrings and bracelet

Tatting is very addicted. I tat every moment I can. Here we have a pair of earrings, tatted in cream Aida 20 with clear AB Swarovski crystals and crystal faceted drops.

The next one I want to show a bracelet I have tatted in cream Aida 20 with pink pearls. This is the pattern originally found at Be-stitched ( called Heather).

 

And finally lovely flower earrings (cream Aida 20 and pink seed beads )

Sparkly night - tatted earrings

I am still playing with the ancient design, which I used here. I am changing the thickness of threads, colours, extra beads, crystals, etc.  I bought one Twilley’s Gold Fingering in silver and one in black. This is beautiful, with a jewel-like shine, a little bit thicker than threads I used before. I love the effect, which gives the connection of metallised thread combined with Swarovski crystals. It looks incredibly spectacular to me.

This pair of earrings is made with a black metalized thread (Twilley’s Gold Fingering), black Czech Glass Pressed Dagger Jet beads and seed beads in Anthracite black.

 

 

The next one is a gorgeous, sparkly pendant I have made with a silver thread I mentioned earlier. I tatted in Swarovski crystals (AB) and a big Swarovski face drop.

Here we have gorgeous black earrings (black Aida 20) with black Swarovski crystals (Jet AB) , black Czech Glass Pressed Dagger Jet beads and sterling silver earwires. They are made for my friend, who is going to wear it on her sister’s wedding. I am really glad she likes them.

Black tatted earrings with red Swarovski crystals

After your lovely comments of my tatted earrings I decided to show a black version with red Swarovski crystals. I would like to ask you a question – do you think this is my desing? Recently I wrote that I have inspiration from the doily I am making now. I change it a little bit to make an earring shape. I am totally beginner in a tatters world, so I don’t have an idea what to think about it...
