Good morning, dear readers!
I decided that I had better get today's post done as we are supposed to have some scary, severe weather this afternoon & evening. That also means I will have intermittent internet access.
I have been getting things gathered up and ready for serious tatting work in the Atelier. The plan is to have all new original pieces available in May. Here are some of the cameos I've acquired at auctions and estate sales:
It was hard to get good images due to the glare this morning, but you can get a general idea of what the "before" cameos look like. The earrings are screw back, but I plan to cut off the backs, file down the rough and use them as pendants.
These two ladies need a good cleaning, but I expect they will dress-up quite nicely.
The intaglios and vintage brooches have been sorted, catches & mountings checked, and are neatly organized on my jeweler's bench in the Atelier.
Now, I am awaiting the cultured pearl order that was placed a couple of weeks ago. Oh, yeah- I also need to order more Valdani Luxury Pearl Silk. Lots to do to add to the Romance of the Piney Woods & Olde West Collections! I'm off to inventory the Valdani threads. Have a great day & until tomorrow~
Happy Tatting!
