My Beaded Damselfly

A couple of weeks ago I attended the Queensland Tatters meet up.  Judith Connors gave a lesson on Inverted Tatting and we tatted her Beaded Damselfly.  I finally figured out how to do inverted tatting.   Here's my finished Beaded Damselfly.  It was a fun and easy pattern to tat.  Thanks Judith :).

LOL the poor thing looks like it has big bug eyes and a broken wing!  Luckily my 6yo daughter loves it.  Now to tat this again using smaller beads for my other daughter :).

That's it for now.  Thanks for visiting my blog :).

Cheers,

Persisting with Inverted Tatting

I am still persisting with Inverted Tatting. This time I am using Mark Myers tutorial found here:

It took me several goes to get right but I think I am slowly getting it.  I left out the thrown ring but will try that in the next one :).

 

That's it for now.  Thanks for visiting my blog :).

First attempt at Inverted Tatting

Wow!  I can not believe February is nearly over!  So much for posting once a week!  Might try for once a fortnight :).

One of the techniques I have always wanted to try is inverted tatting.  I used Karen Cabrera's YouTube video found here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGYWycEJh4Q

Next is to try Mark Myers' tutorial on Inverted Tatting :).

That's it for now.  Thanks for visiting my blog :).
