What I finally realised is that I need to start with something small. So this summer I've worked on grouping a collection of pendants into a book. These patterns use semi-precious beads as the base for a tatted pendant. The shapes and sizes of the stones vary and seeds beads are used in a few patterns. The book contains diagrams and full color pictures of the pendants. I've called it "Tatting the Stone" (I stole the title from Romancing the Stone. Do you remember that movie? I love that movie.)
The book will be available this weekend for the first time anywhere this weekend at the Fringe Element Tatting Weekend. Tatting the Stone has 22 pages with 16 patterns.

I was very impressed with the stones and patterns you put in the tat bags (thank you) I hope you do well with the book and yes writing out patterns is difficult but well worth the effort when you see the results of your labours.
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks great! Congratulations. I do know how difficult it is to write up the pattern! You should be very proud of this accomplishment.
