Jayne Intaglio Brooch

Shabby Vintage Bridal

Good evening, dear readers!

 

Jocelin and I spent the day at a local park.  It was just gorgeous out and we thoroughly enjoyed our mother/daughter day.  Rosie Fey chased ducks and squirrels and had an encounter with a goose. 

 

I did get some tatting done early this morning and began work on another project.  Here is a lovely Whiting & Davis rock crystal intaglio brooch that I have begun to accent:

 

 

 

I have decided to call her "Jayne".  The first bezel of dark lavender freshwater pearls is complete and I am now debating whether to add some White Lotus rice pearls or something else.  I plan to use some gorgeous Valdani Luxury Pearl Silk to tat around this beauty.  I'm thinking of using either "Mauve Orchid" or "Forgotten Lavender".  Plus, I may include some accents of "Subtle Elegance".  You never know what I may decide to do.

 

Well, it is almost time for supper and I've not prepped anything yet.  Guess I'd better hop to it before Jim gets home.  Have a great evening and be sure to check out the blog later this week for a special event!  Until tomorrow~

Happy Tatting!

 

 



Intaglio Progress

After harvesting a nice mess of snap beans, squash, and turnip greens from the garden, I got back to work on the intaglio brooch.  Here is an image of what I did yesterday:

I have completed the outer round of tatting this morning and am comtemplating what to do next.  Shall I add a round with Swarovski crystal accents?  More pearls?  Plain tatting?  Tatting with graduated picots?  Hmmm...

It is almost lunchtime, so after grabbing a bite, I'll get back to "dressing" my little intaglio lady.  She still needs a name and I've not come up with one that suits her yet.

Happy Tatting!



A New Lady & Pearls

I happened up on a nice little intaglio brooch last week and finally got around to taking an image of her:

What shall I call this new lady?  While she is not a shell cameo, she has her own unique charm.  I am currently busy dressing her up.  She has received a bezel of champagne pearls and is in the early tatting stage.

Speaking of pearls:

Here are the champagne pearls.

And imaged below are the silver peacock pearls.

They are more of a lavender color than silver.

If any of you have a good name suggestion for my new lady, let me know.

Well, the intaglio brooch is patiently waiting for me to finish round one of the foundation tatting, so I'd better hop to it.  Have a great day & until tomorrow~

Happy Tatting!
