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,

Treasury, twitter and geekery

Hello. I didn't get round to blogging yesterday. I had intended to do it in the evening but I ended up in the Etsy UK chat room instead. It was great fun and I think I was in there for about two hours. Speaking of UKers, I got a treasury. It features great UK artisans so check it out. It's there until Monday.

A wonderful thing happened on Twitter yesterday. I started following Yours Truli, the creator of vintage style jewellery, who then gave me a #FollowFriday link. It was a nice surprise and I thank you for it. I've put her blog on the left and her main website on the right. Check her out, her creations are beautiful.

Today saw the start of filming for the pilot of HBO's Game Of Thrones. Being completely obsessed with these books I immediately went on twitter as soon as I got up this morning. I soon found fan pictures of the crew setting up. It's wonderful that it has finally started. If you like your medieval fantasy books, I'd strongly reccommend you look at Winter Is Coming (this blog is on the left). All the fan info has been pulled together and hopefully we will get some more updates soon. I cannot tell you how exciting this is! Anyway before I start going on about this too much, I will leave it there and blog on Monday.

Medea and Twitter

Hi,

I've had a productive day today. I managed to finish making my homemade lightbox and then photographed a few more items (some of which I shall be listing tomorrow). I managed to list an item today. Here it is. It's called Medea. This design just came to me out of thin air. I do that sometimes. It usually happens when I'm not thinking about creating patterns. Anyway this gothic pendant was photographed using my lightbox. What do people think? I'm quite impressed with how sharp the picture is. I think I shall play around with this box tomorrow morning.

I've decided I love twitter. I've been on it for only a day but I've already found loads of interesting people. I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time on there from now on.

Tomorrow I shall take some more photos and hopefully list a couple of items. Talk tomorrow.
