Been working on redoing the 3D cube from Karen Brovard's book Illusions of 3-D in Split Ring Tatting. It is looking better. Still a challenge for me (tension) but I have figured out a way to make sure it is the rings are close in size to one another. Love the 3D effect. Not to wild about the colors. Will do another but with shades of blue for the cube.
The earrings are a pattern by Nina Libin called Earrings for Snow Princess. They were a gift for my daughter made with peridot beads (her birthstone). Swirl join makes the little stary in the middle.
One goal I have set for myself is to blog an entry a month. I have been very laxed. Another goal is to stay organized. So far both have been accomplished. I am in the middle of organizing my tatting area. Hopefully, will have that done tomorrow. Need to start getting things ready for this year's Tat Days and finish WIP's. If I can stay organized and focused, I should complete both of these.
You've set some wonderful goals! I need to get organized before I can stay organized. I'm working on it. I hope you have a wonderful new year!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see a post from you. But, I have to confess I could not keep up with a blog. And, gee, the Nina earrings. You really have talent.

Thank you. Don’t know about talent. Just followed the pattern.😁
ReplyDeleteObviously seen the 3D cube effect in patchwork, never thought that the tension could be a problem in tatting, but of course it stands to reason everything has to be accurate to work. Well done, it looks great to me.
