Bottle cap fever

I can't seem to stop tatting around flattened bottle caps. Yes, it takes a bit longer than an Ice Drop made with 3/4" glass gems, but I love the results. I finished this one before heading off to school this morning. The thread is Liz Metallic Turquoise Blue.

Today was a sub day, so I had a little bit of time to tat. This Disney Princess Ice Drop is in Liz Metallic Gem Stone. The color choice might not look terrific in the picture, but there is a bit of orange in the thread, and I think it looks great in person!

Believe it or not, this is the ninth Liz Metallic thread I've tried!

There are so many colors in this pretty thread. I could have chosen gold, pink, purple, blue, green. Any of them would have looked good, but as you can see, I chose red! I used another of my flat shuttles from Grizzly Mountain Arts. I really do think flat shuttles are my best option when working with metallic threads.

I managed to sew another lined drawstring bag before heading in to school this morning. One of the teachers felt ill after arriving at school, and luckily I was available to help out.

Both bags that I've made are already spoken for. Luckily, I have lots of material for making more of them!
