Tatting Patterns

I have a question about putting a book together, would it be easier to just put the patterns separately or in a book? Which do you think is the best that patterns are for Christmas Ornaments. I have 17 patterns now that i am working on getting diagrammed which i think is the hardest part. But i was just trying to get idea of the best way to get them out i was thinking it might be easier to sell them individually more might actually get made if you only purchase the one or two you want to make. Plesae leave any comment they will be usefull to me.

I finished another ornament on friday but i think it need more work i wanted it to be able to hang nicely without a glass bulb inside it, well it does hang but i think it need more stability so i will work on it some more soon.

I also wanted to show what i got in the exchange i did with the Fringe elememts it was a wonderful winter exchange i got my gift from Tina Neudorf.

New Ornament

Well it is kinda like one I designed in the fall. But I wanted to change it some and try a new idea and leave the glass ball out of the ornament but still have it look like a ornament. So I got out the bangle bracelet and used it for the center to make it round and put a small ring at the top to hold it shape. Now i am working on another idea with out the glass ball in it.

Egg

Well i got the egg finished!!! It took a few days. Here is a picture of it.

New project

Well due to a good friend i havent tatted in a few day now. She send me a new project to do! A beaded egg that has a bunny and flowers, it is all beads and thread so far i have it a third of the way done and i think it looks right so far. I wil try to get some pictures of it later but i dont think i will work on the wedding doily until this is done.

Merry Christmas to all. I finally got my Christmas tatting done yesterday afternoon. So now back to the wedding doily and the fair doily. And the ornament book I need to get that diagrammed so it will take lots of time to get it done.

Snowsetta

I have had a go at the Snowsetta and i have changed how to do it some. You can do the main color then do the second color as a second row so you dont have to use 4 shuttles that get tangled up all the time, you can pass a clover shuttle through the spaces you made with the main color. it is much easier. and i didnt do the aligator join either. I just put one thread on each side of the main color work and did the next chain i think it looks the same. I have Emailed Jane and she has given me permission to post how i did it.
