and beautiful foliage that inspired this work yesterday:
A new Fox design!
Can you believe it?
This one took me almost an entire 12 hours to tat. I started it about four times and used three different coolour choices for thread and beads before I decided this was what I wanted.
The brooch is silver-plated; I think can also be worn as a pendant. Do you think so?
I found it in a funky, little, inner-city store, famous for its vintage wares.
It started out like this; I used Lizbeth #40 and added the linen-coloured
Czech beads in the corners. I love the colours in this.
I think I shall list this in my Etsy shop.
Beautiful piece! I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mica!

This is excellent! I'm completely fascinated by the way you wrap your tatting around the filigree, and in this case the metal piece isn't symmetrical, yet you still made it work out by doing regular chains to get to the next anchor point. You are blazing new ground here, and showing us exciting possibilities in working with filigree shapes!
ReplyDeleteYour words are so encouraging, Kathy!
DeleteThank you very much. I was so tired yesterday after hours of un-tatting and playing with the pin that I figured it was all for nought at the end of the day. Then, this morning, especially after reading this comment I felt a lot better.! It is quite the process.

That is fabulous! Very clever the way you tatted over the filigree. You have such original ideas!
ReplyDeleteI would say you should keep it and wear it yourself, but I know you are not a jewelry wearer, so yes, put it in the shop.
That is a fabulous autumn piece!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou have found your niche! - I love this one. Have you used the split chain technique to attach the thread to the corners?
ReplyDeleteFine coloured wire would be stunning with your jewellery pieces, but I suppose it would be hard to work with!
Oh, my! That is the most gorgeous doodad tatting so far!
ReplyDeleteOh my I do love that! You really have a knack for selecting threads, patterns, and jewelry bits that go together well. :)
ReplyDeleteMagnifique!!! Les couleurs d'automne et la broche vont très bien ensemble...
ReplyDeleteAmitiés et caresses à Gian
Gorgeous! Love the thread colour, and yay! on the new design!
