A piece of tatting in green threads somewhat resembling a leaf, made into a bookmark.

A tatting experiment that got way out of hand! 🤔 Still, some creative ideas might be learned. #tatting

Finished the Monstera Leaf bobbin lace bookmark designed by LacyBotanics. Her patterns are so well explained and include video tutorials! #lacemaking #LacyBotanics #bobbinlace

Thank you! I like that reference.☺️ I’m using my own hand dyed thread along with 2 darker green shades so maybe that mix helps the effect.🐉

Thank you so much for the encouragement! I’m learning.☺️

Bobbin lace leaf in progress, pattern by LacyBotanics. I don’t have much experience with bobbin lace so the mistakes are my own.

I’m doing bobbin lace today (Monstera Leaf pattern by LacyBotanics) which is much more beautiful than my attempt. I enlarged the pattern 115% but the size 40 Lizbeth thread I’m using is still too thick it seems. I’m pressing on anyway and am loving it! 🥰

The technique I use to hand dye thread is essentially the same as “warp painting” which I learned at a handweaving class.

I don’t play the game Tetris so I’m clueless about the meaning of the symbols but golly, that’s a really beautiful sweater! 🤩

Before stiffening, what I do to block my pieces is just to steam them using a small travel steamer that works in both horizontal and vertical positions. Not a regular metal iron that gets hot. Usually I don’t pin anything out for blocking.

Sometimes I do brush a stiffening product on the back side only of my tatted jewelry pieces. I don’t put it on the front because it dulls the sheen of the thread and beads. I’ve tried several different brands of stiffener, my current fave is Plaid’s “Stiffy”.

I’ve only done a little bit of needle tatting, just to figure out the basics of it. I only wrote up one needle tatting pattern (the needle tatting version of “Trendy Teardrop”).

Mistake in first photo description: The plastic rings are 3 centimeters wide, not 3mm.

Absolutely no tatting whatsoever on that cover. 🙄

Finished earrings using 3mm plastic rings and size 20 Liz Metallic in color “Sand Dollar”.

The magazine issue that the pattern is published in: IL MIO Chiacchierino Oct/Nov 2014.

I did finish these stunningly elegant earrings and I love them! They’re surprisingly lightweight. I found the pattern in the Italian magazine pictured (note: I changed the stitches between picots on outer row from 7 to 5) and I’m pleased with the results. #tatting

Hand dyed skein of tatting/crochet thread, size 20, displayed on a hand to show size. Mardi Gras colors shading from purple, green, and gold.

Mardi Gras hand dyed thread in various sizes is now listed on Etsy and Goimagine. #handdyed #handdyedthread #fiberarts #lacemaking

Jars of fiber reactive dye open in the colors I use for a batch of my hand dyed thread “Mardi Gras”. Many different shades of purple, green, and gold are blended to make the resulting thread colors richer. I always wear a face mask 😷 when working with open dye powder to avoid breathing in the chemicals.

The amount of dye colors used in a batch of “Mardi Gras” hand dyed thread, currently in progress. I should finish it up today and hope to list the skeins in both my shops in a couple days. #handdyeing #handdyedthread #fiberarts
