Addictive!

I've found myself strangely addicted to the chain rosette. I was awake at night and came up with this plan that I really like. For some extra bling there are Swarovski crystals. I call the pattern "garden Jewel earrings". These went to etsy but I'll be ordering some more beads for a pair for myself.
Below is the set that went off in the mail today for my little sister's birthday. She will be 22 I think. Makes me feel old. I guess that Jewelry making has become addictive as well, I just can't seem to find the desire to do any other tatting at this time. The little things rattle off the shuttles quickly, that right there might be the magic ingredient.......I like to be able to finish things once in awhile. :-) I do have a new idea up my sleeve, the supplies are on the way to my house this week, so stay tuned for some more experiments! I decided to save the thread dying project for a later more sane time, so hopefully this will quench my desire to do something new and exciting. Gotta spice it up now and again. Right?

Your rosette earrings are beautiful! I really like them. The black set is very cool, too!

I'm looking forward to seeing what you have up your sleeve with the new supplies! :)

Your jewelry is beautiful! I really must learn to tat over a ring... I wonder where I put those little things?

Love the rosette earrings. When I am finished ( in Just 2 more exercises!!!) with TAT, I will be making this kind of thing! I cannot wait!

Your little sister is in for a treat!

Good morning! Your rosette earrings are lovely!! The dangling bead looks elegant on the earring. I love how the rosette looks too, I use it it a lot when I am tatting, especially in jewelry pieces too.

The black set is very nice too! Good luck with your Etsy shop, all the tatted pieces are beautiful.
