It actually feels like Fall today! It is a nice, cool 59F this afternoon. Fabulous tatting weather.
After washing and ironing my camo shirts, I decided there was a need for more color co-ordinated tatted accessories. I then went through my Valdani stash and found the perfect color to go with my Mossy Oak camo- # O574. As luck would have it, I had just the right color and finish of seed beads, too. The label was gone on the little box, so I am not sure what the color is. All I know is that they are Miyuki brand.
I gathered my materials, went to a favorite spot and tatted this:
This is the beginning of another camouflage pendant. As mentioned, I used 100% COLORFAST Valdani size 8 pearl cotton in # O574, along with matte finish Miyuki seed beads, a vintage brown cowlip shell button, and green freshwater pearls. I have not finished this piece, but wanted to show you what I've been up to this fine Fall day.
Don't forget about the Piney Woods Harvest Event! There is only a week until the deadline of November 16th, so click the google "Join this Site" button for your chance to win. Good luck!
I think I shall stroll back to my tatting haven and continue working on the new camo pendant. Have a marvelous day! Until tomorrow~
Happy Tatting!
Because of your blog and all the talk about Valdani thread, my sis, who lives in Calgary, Alberta, where there is a store that stocks the stuff, is coming for a visit and bringing me FOUR - 4 - BALLS!
ReplyDeleteI asked her for #12 and she has obliged... Cannot wait to see the colours she picked, for apparently there was a huge choice. Very excited!

I love my Valdani 12 thread...I had purchased the forest selection. I'd like to have at least 1 of every color! Unfortunately, my bank account doesn't agree.
ReplyDeleteLove your pendant!
