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.

Paper napkins for decoupage (also known as a napkin decoupage, napkin technique, napkin art), scrapbook, collage.

I have got a lot of paper napkins with different designs. A few people have asked me recently, where I buy it. So, honestly, I buy everywhere I can. EBay, gardening centre, Cath Kidston store and … when I am in Poland to visit my family –always, ALWAYS - I buy a lot of napkins. If you are looking for an unusual design or you need only one or two napkins and don’t need a whole pack – I can give you a great opportunity to try it out. One paper napkin costs 30p and different can be mixed so it could suit you. P&P -1 pound –does not matter how many napkins you buy. (PayPal only)

Ceramic hearts with tatted flowers

I made ceramic hearts few days ago. I used tatted flower to give them an unique design. In my opinion these hearts are a little bit shabby chic and the natural jute rope has given them a special character. To make it I used white modelling clay (air drying)

Tatted bracelet

Hello! Today I want to show you a lovely tatted lace bracelet I have finished recently. This is the same vintage pattern I used making those earrings. I used ecru Aida 20 thread.

I received many compliments wearing this bracelet this morning.

Hairband and earrings

This is a cute hairband with pink beads and a pale pink satin ribbon. I modified the patter “Svea” I found in “Tatting Patterns and design” by Gun Blomqvist and Elwy Persson.

I have used white Aida 20 thread

Below I want to show earrings I made yesterday. The pattern I found in "Butterick's Tatting & Netting" from 1896. This is very ancient design, isn’t it? I modifed it a little bit to use as earrings. I have used ecru Aida 20 thread, white pearl beads and sterling silver earwires.

Lovely hair slide

 I have been  very busy recently, so today only quick post with picture of tatted flower attached to a white hair slide. It is very girly, isn’t it? I think it would be a pretty First Holy Communion accessory…

Decoupaged jewellery cabinet and various tatted motives

I want to show this shabby chic jewellery cabinet I decorated recently.

I found an old, ugly jewellery cabinet in a charity shop.

I sanded it, and then painted with a cream acrylic paint few times. Later I used a crackle medium to add a distress charm. The next step was to decoupage a lovely rose’s motif from paper napkin. I varnished it several times, sanded between layers and added a beautiful ecru lace. It reminds me past times...  (this one is matching the shelf I made for my sister)

My friend asked me to show how big my tatted earrings are. So I have put a 1 pound coin to show it. Most of these small pieces I tatted last weekend and I have to finish ends….
