Busy, Busy

Hi all. Wow the time has simply flown by. I've been so busy with my online tatting shops that I haven't been able to do a blog post in ages. So this is going to be a big update.

As usual I have several projects on the go. Below is something I'm working on that's a little bit different. I suspect tatters out there will spot it from the picture. I think I have another 2 rows to go. I can't wait to show you the finished piece!

The other day I had a great idea for a new style of tatted beaded necklace. The prototype was successful so once I've finished my latest Etsy order, I'll get back to that.

I'm also working on some more 'Mina' jewellery which will be in my Etsy shop very soon. 

Have a great day,

New Items And Updates

~New items~

'Rosetta' - this Victorian inspired pendant was tatted in ecru cotton thread and features tiny pale gold seed beads with a freshwater pearl sewn into the centre. It hangs from an antique copper chain. For more info and to purchase this click here.

 

'Marie' - these simple yet stylish napkin rings were tatted in variegated blue cotton thread. Find the set of two here and the set of four here. If you would like more, please contact me on Etsy and I can create a custom listing for you.

 'Marie' - I tatted these napkin rings in a gorgeous multicoloured yellow, green and orange cotton thread. They would look great at an outdoor summer party. 

This was my prototype design. I have since changed the pattern slightly so I'm listing these as a one of a kind (OOAK) set on Etsy here.

Hope you like these new pieces. 

~Currently working on~

I'm working on a few items. 

I've just completed a Spring inspired bracelet that I aim to list in the next few days. I'm trying one of my pendant patterns as a pair of earrings. If they work I'll show you some pictures, hopefully tomorrow.

I'm also just about to start tatting some more napkin rings using my 'Marie' pattern. How do you feel about black and red together? 

Keep updated on all the latest Tatania Rosa news on my Facebook page and Twitter.

 Have a nice Monday,

Treasury, tatting and places

Good day everyone. I hope you had a nice weekend. I have lots of things to talk about today. First of all here's my newest listing.

To create this pendant I tatted round two rings of different sizes in pastel blue cotton thread. They are attached to each other by a few links of chain. It was a bit fiddly to join them but I love the result. This simple yet stylish piece can be found here. Would you like to see this in other colours?

I've joined a few places online. Firstly find me on:

Tumblr: this is where I'll be blogging about new stuff I'm working on and other things that interest me. (My main blog will remain here on blogger)

Pinterest: join me here for photos, art and handmade creations I love.

I hope to see you on these places.

Over the weekend I created a spring inspired treasury full of beautiful creations on Etsy:

Check it out here. I hope you like it.

I've decided to start my 'Item of the Week' offer again.

A set of four customizable 'Eva' napkin rings: you choose the colour. WAS $14 NOW $7 for this week only! Offer available in my Etsy shop here.

That's it from me for today. Have a nice Monday,

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 and ribbon work

New listings

Top row: Isabella pendant in pink, blue and green, Isabella pendant in blue, purple and turquoise

Bottom row: Rosemany hair fascinator

These are all available to buy at my online Etsy shop.

The top two pendants are one of a kind creations so once they're gone, they're gone. The hair fascinator was a joy to create. It consists of handmade peach and salmon ribbon flowers, faux suede leaves and ivory lace for the base. This would look great with a lacy corset or with a classic / sweet lolita outfit. This is another one of a kind creation. I'm thinking of making some more like this.

 Clearance Sale!

I need more space for new stock so I've decided to have a clearance sale on some items in my Etsy shop here.

I'm currently working on something large but I'll say more tomorrow.

Have a nice day,

Heather

Tatted Nautical Pendants

Hi all.

I've been working on something a little different.

I'd like to introduce to you my new Seaside Pendant Collection:

1st row: Pastel blue with star charm, red and white with star charm

2nd row: Variegated turquoise with seahorse charm, pastel blue and white with starfish charm

3rd row: Variegated turquoise and white with starfish charm, red and white with seashell charm

These are all available on Artfire. What do you think? I live by the sea so I've grown up around these seaside colours. I suppose it was only natural that I'd want to incorporate this into my tatting. Plastic rings allow me to do just that.

I have a pink and white in the pipeline and there may be a lilac and white coming soon. If they take off I may set up a separate shop just for this style but we'll see.

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 lace

 Hi everyone. I've been working on several ideas over the past few days but before that I've got some of my newest pieces to show you.

Here is the first one -  a gothic flower ring. What do you think?

The design is the same as my new hair clips but without the ribbon at the base. This one was tatted in black cotton thread with plum seed beads. You can purchase this here. I've also listed it as a customizable piece. You chose the colour and the seed beads. For solid colours click here and for variegated yarns click here. This ring would look beautiful at a ball or party. More of these to come soon.

The next piece is a metallic gold hair pin. I loved working with this thread. It's so sparkly! Find it here. I have another hair pin that I'm photographing at the moment. I hope to list that tomorrow.

I've also listed my first limited edition pendant. I bought some pretty heart pendants last year on holiday and I've just been able to create a design that compliments them. Find this here.

So on to the new ideas:

I'm working on something that uses the heart pattern from the pendant above. It's all tatted up so I just need to sew it now. I'm also trying out an idea for some small hair pins. This may not work but I think I'll know by tomorrow.

From one extreme to the other, I'm working on something quite large. Can't say too much at the moment but I will say that this piece is inspired by a fashion subculture I love ;) This may take a while to create and I'll probably list it as a limited run but I'm not sure yet. I'll have more news on this soon. Follow me on twitter for an up-to-date feed of all my latest creations.

The next bit of news is for all you UK fans. I'm having a SALE on some of my pieces in my Folksy shop. Click here for some bargains. Hurry this sale won't last long!

Well I think that's it for me tonight,

A few updates

Hello. How are we all on this cold morning? I've listed the gothic version of my Elaine pendant on Etsy. I decided to add several red seed beads to make it stand out. Click here to see the item.

I've started on the necklace that matches my Lillian earrings and bracelet. I shall hopefully be able to show you soon. I'm also working on large project that involves lots of ribbon and beads. It may or may not work but we shall see.

Right back to the tatting for me. I may be listing a pair of gothic earrings later so I shall blog again later today.

More items added to Etsy shop

Afternoon. I've been busy working on some new items. Here are the first two. The rest will be gradually added to my shop over the next few days.

I've listed my first pair of tatted earrings. These are the ones I showed you last week.

I adore these. I just love how they came together. Click here for the link to the listing.

The second item is an elegant lilac pendant. I used lots of tiny silver coloured seed beads and added a light sapphire glass drop to the base.

I'm very peased with how this one has turned out. I'm working on a black version with red seed beads that I shall hopefully be able to list tomorrow. The matching earrings are in the pipeline.

What do you think of these?

I'll blog again tomorrow.
