Bookmarks

~New bookmarks~

Here is my new 'Lexia' bookmark design. What do you think? I had the idea for this last week. Below is the prototype in black and red, listed in my Etsy shop as a One Of A Kind. It features a handmade black and red cotton tassel, complete with tatted loop.

Next is a Limited Edition version in black, blue and turquoise with a hint of purple. This one is attached to a shiny black tassel. Find it on Etsy here.

This third one was tatted in salmon pink and ivory cotton thread and features a handmade pink and ivory cotton tassel. On Etsy here. 

I will be creating more of these very soon.

Busy, busy, busy

~Busy, busy, busy~

Good afternoon all and hello to new fans. You may be wondering what I've been up to for the past month or so. Well, apart from the usual listing of items (I'll talk more about those in a minute), I've also been working on my first ever wholesale order! It has pretty much taken up most of my time but today I finally finished it. It's been a great experience and I'd love to have the chance to do it again one day. If you would like to order wholesale items please contact me either through my email: tataniarosa@hotmail.co.uk or through my Etsy shop.

Whilst that was going on I had lots of fab ideas for other pieces and now that it's finished, I can try some of them out. There's a Christmas themed coaster and a gothic / medieval inspired coaster, the latter I've just started. I've also had ideas for more napkin ring patterns. Speaking of patterns, I've been thinking about selling some of my own. I was going to do it a few weeks ago but haven't had the time. It's definitely high on my list of thing to try and I'm hoping to have some listed before Christmas.

~Anniversary~

Today is my 3rd Etsy Anniversary! Wow has it really been three years since I started my business. Amazing how time flies. Thank you so much to everyone for all your support.

Lots Of Updates

Good morning everyone. I've got lots of updates and news to share with you today. First of all, here are some of my latest listings.

~New~

'Rosetta' - I have now added more wedding coasters to my Etsy shop. Each was created, using my original design, in high quality ivory cotton thread.

Find the set of two here, and the set of four here. They would look great at wedding receptions and also make wonderful keepsakes for guests.

'Rosa' - the idea for a rose bookmark came to me a couple of months ago. I tried a prototype but wasn't happy with it, so put it to one side. I went back to it last week and tried again. This time it worked! The rose in the centre and the petals have been tatted in variegated pink cotton thread and the vines are in a lovely green colour. Available to buy on Etsy here.








I've also listed some Christmas decoration that I had in stock but weren't on Etsy yet. You can find them all here.

Gothic Lace

Hi everyone. I've just listed some new creations on Etsy.

This first one is based on my Katherine design. I started by hand tatting the motif in a thicker thread to what I normally use and then added black seed beads and agate gemstones to the bottom. The cord it hangs on was also hand tatted by me. Perfect for Halloween! Available to buy here.

The above was an experiment using the tatted cord idea. This goth / punk wrap bracelet features one black cord and one fuchsia cord. Buy it here. Are there any colours you'd like to see this in?

I'm getting closer to my second Etsy Anniversay so I'm currently working on details for competitions etc. You'll know more very soon.

Well it's back to working on my newest order for me then I think I'll tat a sparkly Chritsmas decoration.

Have a nice Wednesday,

Heather



Seasonal Items

Good morning. Hope everyone is having a nice week so far. So what have I been up to? Well I've been working on some new style of bracelets. I've just finished one and am currently waiting for some new colours to make another one. I can't wait to show you all. I'll post a pic today on my twitter page. Speaking of twitter, I'm just about to reach 1,900 followers. Thank you very much guys :-) I'm thinking of doing something special on there when we hit 1,900.

~New Listings~

'Celyna' Christmas decoration available on Etsy here

This sparkly Christmas decoration was shuttle tatted in metallic blue thread. It would look great on any Christmas tree. I think I'll make a gold one next.  



'Violetta' gothic wreath available on Etsy here

I've created my first wall decoration. What do you think? Purple cotton thread was hand tatted round a 5 inch polystyrene ring. I then added black satin ribbon and a cute black ribbon bow. This would look great on Halloween or why not give it to the goth in your life. My head is full of wreath ideas now so expect to see some more soon.  

I'm currently editing some photos of new 'Luna' pendants that I hope to list later on today so keep your eyes peeled.

New Craft For My Shop

Hello everyone. Hope you are all well.

I've been incredibly busy recently. On Saturday I had a stall at a local craft fair so I was preparing for that all last week. We didn't get many people come through the doors but it was an enjoyable day nonetheless. I sold a few pieces and had lots of lovely comments which is always nice.

I've also been working on some other things, which brings me to the main point of this blog.

New Line of Products

I can now announce that I will be adding ribbonwork flowers to my Etsy shop.

I picked up a gorgeous craft book a while ago and was immediately inspired to have a go at some of the creations. I then quickly moved on to trying my own ideas. When I haven't been tatting, this is what I've been doing. I'm now hooked!

Sneak peek of some of the creations:
The picture above shows a blue fantasy knotted flower hair clip. I'm thinking of trying this in different colours. Below is a slightly different version with one layer. I used a cute black ribbon with silver spots. This would look great with a punky outfit.

This lilac and white pansy hair clip was one of my first finished pieces. It's so cute. Watch this space for a gothic version.

I've made this red and gold piece into a hair barrette. This is great for parties or proms.

Launch:
I will launch this product line on Thursday 1st September in my Etsy shop.

If you have any colours you'd like to see, feel free to comment below this post with your suggestion.

Have a nice day,

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.
