Tatania Rosa News

Hello everyone. Hope you all had a nice Christmas. Mine was fun as my sister came home for two weeks and in that time we saw lots of films and consumed chocolate. Yum!

I have some news to share with you all.

First off I've joined a new UK selling site called StoreBeez. Click here to visit my shop. I will be adding loads of creations over the coming weeks.

Next I've decided to close up my Artfire shop as I wish to concentrate on my other online shops. I'm sorry if this causes any inconvenience. The shop will close this Friday. The limited editions, one of a kinds and other creations will be moved to my Etsy shop. I've already started this process. All bookmarks can now be found here.

I've listed my first new creation for 2012 (click the picture for more details)

This tatted silver / grey pendant features tiny silver seed beads and a gorgeous heart drop bead at the base. I only have a few of these heart beads so this is a limited edition creation! I hope you like it.

I have lots of creations all ready to be photographed and listed so check back here soon.

New Lace Earrings

Good afternoon. I hope everyone is fine.

As you might know I had my first Christmas craft fair over the weekend. We didn't get many people through the doors but if was fun nonetheless. I'm now working on stock for the next one on the 10th December. This one is in a different area of Kent so we'll see how it goes.

~New Listings~

As the title of this post suggests, I have just listed some new lace earrings (click the pictures to go to the listings):

These elegant tatted earrings above were created using black cotton thread, gold seed beads and black glass teardrop beads. I think they would look great at parties and proms.

Here is the white version:

~Christmas Orders~

I've listed the Christmas shipping deadlines in my Etsy, Folksy and Artfire shops. They are recommended dates so order early to avoid disappointment. 

Right I must get back to the tatting. Have a nice day.

Wedding lace and Artfire

Hello everyone. First of all I'd like to say that my heart goes out to anyone affected by the riots happening in London and other areas of the country. I hope this stop soon. Stay safe wherever you are xxx

I've been hard at work on some new pieces of tatting. If you are following me on twitter or Facebook, you'll know that one of these creations is a white Celtic bridal cuff

This is how much I'd completed the other day. It's taking ages as I'm working with four shuttles simultaneously but I'll get there. Hope it looks good when it's finished.

Artfire

I've also been working on my colour scheme on Artfire using their new design. Have a look here.

There are new listings on there too:

This one sold recently on Etsy and now has a home on Artfire. Click the picture to take you to the listing.

This is a lovely variegated pink star charm pendant. Perfect as a gift or as a treat for yourself.

This bookmark was a custom order and it is now available for anyone to buy here. I've also added customizable listings: one colour, two colours and variegated colours.

I will be listing more pieces on Artfire very soon.

Updates

Good day to one and all. A few updates for today.

~Now available~

I've added another tatted bookmark to Artfire:

I really enjoyed making these pieces. I'll tat some more soon. Are there any colours you would like to see this pattern in?

~Anklets~

I've also been working on my anklet idea. Here's a limited edition red creation.

There's also a black sparkly version in the pipeline. I'll start listing these very soon.

~New circle pendants~

I've created some more circular pendants. I add these to my shops as soon as I get some chains (hopefully in the next day or so). I'm very pleased with how they've turned out and I hope you like them.

What else has been happening? Well I sold one of my beaded lace bracelets a couple of days ago and I'm just waiting for some more purple thread to come before I relist it.

Have a nice day,
Heather

New creations and new ideas

Good morning. Hope everyone is well.

~Twitter~



First of all, I've decided to do something special when I reach 1,800 followers on twitter. I'm 6 people away so come and follow me here @TataniaRosa It's a great way of keeping up to date with everything Tatania Rosa.

Once I reach 1,800 I will announce the special on my twitter page so keep your eyes peeled.

~Latest creations~

Here are my latest creations, now available to purchase on Artfire:

I hand tatted this simple yet stylish bookmark in a gorgeous chocolate brown thread. The next two use the same design. Below is the pastel blue and lilac version:

and this one is a OOAK black version on Etsy:

You can also choose your own colour(s) here and here.

I've created a matching necklace for my Rhiannon earrings. This was originally a custom order. I love it so much that I've added it for anyone to buy.

I'm also thinking about doing a matching cuff.

~New ideas~

I've been busy working on some new ideas. The first one came together quite quickly. This is the prototype:

This anklet was tatted in metallic red thread and features a glass bead in the center. What do you think? I'm working on a silver version right now and have some sparkly black thread coming in the post for another one. I think these would look fabulous at parties.

The second new idea is still in the pipeline. I'd like to make a few more up before I show you but it won't be too long before you see it.

That's all for today. I'm off to watch some Wimbledon.

Don't forget to follow me on twitter.

Have a nice Monday,

New lace for Artfire

Hi everyone. I'd like to show you my latest creations. Last week I told you that I've been working hard on creating bookmarks. Well here are the first few. All of these are available to buy in my Artfire shop. (Click the pictures below to see the individual artfire pages for these items.)

This is the one I showed a sneak peak of over on facebook. This was my prototype design that I have since changed slightly so I've listed it as a one of a kind (OOAK) piece. I love these colours!

For this one I went with a lovely purple thread. It looks so dainty and delicate but, as with all my lace, it will last for years.

The last one I've listed is in a lovely shell pink and antique violet cotton thread.

These make great gifts for book lovers or why not treat yourself. I can create these in many colours and different lengths. Any requests?

I've started working on a gothic black and red version that I will list later on this week.

There's also a pastel blue version in the works.

(P.s. no this isn't an April fools joke :-) )

I've been busy

I've decided to set up a new online shop. This one is on Artfire. I aim to list mostly items that will only be available in this one place. You do not need an account to buy on Artfire so they don't keep your details. Below are some of the pieces that I have already listed.

                                     

One of a kind silver dangle earrings here

Limited edition white and gold pendant here

Black and gold pendant here

Lilac and white medieval cuff here

What do you think? The silver dangle earrings look a while to create as the chains were pretty fiddly but I love the result. I've only made one of these so once it's gone, it's gone! The white and gold pendant is number 1 of 2 so this is pretty unique. The other two can be created in other colours. Please contact me with your request if you would like a custom piece.

I've also listed some more piece over on Etsy:

Black and purple mini top hat here

Black medieval cuff here

One of a kind white and steel grey pendant here
Lilac flower pendant here

White medieval pendant here

I've had a couple more ideas but that's for another day.

We are less than three weeks away from the epic Game of Thrones premiering on HBO and Sky Atlantic (amongst other stations)! HBO are spoiling us with loads of videos and they've even got a food truck going around NYC this week and LA next week. Wish I lived in America! They've also been giving us enjoyable puzzles over the last few weeks. Follow this link to join the fun!

Have a nice day,
