..........................Newest Fair project

I just finished my newest project :The Egyptian Scarab Necklace. I have had a photo of a statue like this for a very long time, and, thought just a couple of days ago, 'that would make a neat necklace'. So, that is what I made. Like it? I really like it. It is done in DMC 8 and some Metallic threads I had to separate. I also added a few beads for effect. My sister, before it was even finished, told me she wanted to borrow it! Well, first, it goes in the fair. I still have to block it a little, but I am very pleased with the way it came out. How 'bout you?
P.S. Thanks, Gina for the info on how to do the chain!

Projects 09

I have started a new project for this new year. I am going to show the progress here, and try to make sure I write down the patterns as I go. I am not going to tell what it is, I will call it Project X when referring to it, to keep everyone guessing. It is a big project, so I will do it along with others I have planned. Here is a picture of the beginnings. Have a guess as to what it will be?

In my Yahoo blog, I mentioned tatting resolutions I made. Such as tatting patterns of others that I have had a long time, and wanted, but never done. I have been doing some, I just finished this lovely doily by Abby,

and the Celtic Spider Boudeca by Ruth. Though my Boudeca doesn't stand up too well, I think I made her legs to long or too heavy, I still think she is cool! I am not sure what I will tat next, besides Project X, I guess I should start thinking about the fair in July, but I will keep you posted.
