I got carried away


I admit it. I really got carried away this time. I do love Rita Richmond's shuttles, and these beauties called out to me!


I'm enjoying tatting Ice Drops with Lizbeth Arctic Waters. I think the crackled glass gem adds to the frosty look!


Craftie sylvie asked about the bale, so I thought I'd share a couple of pictures showing what it looks like glued to the glass gem.


I glued bales to several glass gems before starting to tat, so I know they'll be sufficiently dried by the time I use them. I just slipped them into place according to the pattern.


The placement of the ribbons has to do with where I finished tatting. Although I'm pretty good at hiding my ends, I think the ribbon adds a nice touch. I'm hoping my Ice Drop pendants are a hit at our Christmas in the Village!

  1. Hurray!!! I found the bales on amazon.fr (better bargain for me of course).
    I'm sure your pendants will get unanimous praise :)

    1. I think I may have a problem, Sue... but it's still cheaper than therapy!

  4. You are doing with those shuttles like I do with the Pop-A-Bobbins. Just cannot resist.
    Nice ones, though. Enjoy them.

    1. I do have quite a few Pop-A-Bobbins, but I definitely have many more of Rita's!
