It's now about 50 years since I learnt the craft of tatting. When I was eleven years old I was allowed to go on the first ever school tr...

Back to the bookmark and after the very constructive comments after the initial attempts I've managed to 'get rid of' the green ...

If you have ever noticed this butterfly on my site http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~nickeb/butterflyring.htm then you'll see that the ...

Well, that's finished!! Taking out the silly little 1 ds chain, shortening two SR's slightly and adding two picots to two chains to ...

I think this is nearly done. There is no way that I can make this in one piece so there will have to be a T & C after the lower half is ...

I didn't get much done yesterday evening due to several phone calls. I did get the base of the Fleur de Lys done, however, so this after...

Changed it slightly but think it's more to do with colours. Probably larger beads for the eyes would help. Now I want to do one with a t...

Not sure about it now. Probably start all over again on this one!!!

I think I've cracked it!!! Forgive the nasty colour but I use up old and much hated threads when experimenting with new ideas. Here are ...

Three false starts but I had a better idea during the night. Yes, even dream tatting - sad, isn't it?
