| West Pine Creations gave me courage and some directions (in books she sells) then I took it a little further. |
 |
| This was challenging for me, the shell was curvy and cut at angles. I found this on eBay here |
 |
| So I did what I call "freestyle tatting" where I just make it up and hope I add lots of picots. |
 |
| I made a padding for the back and sewed together and felt with stuffing inside, I used the brown to change the pink in the shell to match the lizbeth brown size 80 thread I am using. |
 |
| I finished the back and will be adding more tatting for the necklace part. I will be ordering larger thread to attach to this smaller to handle the weight. |
I like your idea to add a padding for the back, it is also a protection for the shell. Great freestyle tatting!
ReplyDeleteYes, I do feel better that it will not break!
DeleteLove the padding idea and your free style tatting, yes she has inspired me now everytime I see brooches on sale I am looking to see if I can attach tatting and do anything with them. I found two in the market the other day so now working in colours for them. She is great inspiration
