I'm Back!

Hi all. 

I'm back from a blogging break with a fresh look. The background is my 'Rose Garden' digital artwork, available on Redbubble, Society6 and Zazzle.

I've currently working on an exciting project but that's for another time 😉.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Hellooo everyone. Apologies for not blogging in a while. I've been so busy with different projects. 

I'm about 1 week away from my 5 year Etsy Anniversary. Can you believe it! I'm so grateful to all my lovely customers for their support in helping me grow my tatting business. I've been thinking up some fun things to celebrate but I'll keep that for another post.

~Latest listings~

I've listed another PDF tatting pattern:

This 'Eva' bookmark tatting pattern features the basic version (Beginner) and three variations (Intermediate) with both written instructions and diagrams. It is an instant download so no need to wait for an email. I hope you enjoy tatting this, I know I do.

Speaking of bookmarks:

This 'Rosa' bookmark was tatted in a lovely lilac / grape thread and leaf green thread. This is also available as a pattern here.

This rustic bookmark started life as my 'Christina' earring design. I then tatted a chain border around the edges. This can be created in your chosen colour. Click here to see the available colours. If you'd like it in a different colour, please contact me and I can source the colour for you.

I've also started listing Christmas decorations:

This large decoration was tatted in metallic silver with gold seed beads. It would look wonderful on any tree.

I've just purchased some gorgeous iridescent thread that I've decided to use to make more decorations. I used this type of thread earlier on in the year for an order and I loved how it looked so buying more was a must. I can't wait to show you how it looks!

~Side project~

In the summer I restarted my Zazzle store for my art and photography. This is a print on demand site with lots of cool products ready for you to add your work to. I like to think of the items as blank canvases.

My main store is here.

I've also set up a second store for my nautical themed items:

You can find Tatania Rosa By The Sea here.

I'm adding items daily to my Zazzle stores so check back regularly.

That's it for today. 

Have a lovely Thursday,

Medieval coasters in tatting 'Marion' - in black and red available on Etsy here.

I can now announce that I've started a new shop on Zazzle for gifts and art. All the items use my photography of my handmade tatted lace, my ribbon flower creations and nature. Here you can find mugs, t shirts, canvas prints, mousemats, bags, iPhone cases, fridge magnets, note cards and coasters to name but a few! This US company provides a print on demand service. This means that the designs you see in my shop can be customized to your liking and then the people at Zazzle will print the image onto the product and post it to you.  

Above are some items from photography of my 'Rosetta' ribbon and lace hair fascinator from my Etsy shop. Each product has aspects that can be changed. The bag pictured here, for example, can be changed to a grocery tote.

Here are some products featuring a piece of abstract art that started life as a photograph I took of a handmade lilac ribbon rose with petals. I then manipulated the image to create this four part design. I love how it looks. The iPhone case at the top left can be personalised with your name or you could further customize it and remove this. It's up to you! This design is available on other gifts as well as a wrapped canvas and a poster. The poster can be framed if you wish.

Click here to see my shop. For UK people you can order in pounds from my UK store here. My shop is also viewable on other Zazzle sites around the world. See the bottom of any page on Zazzle for a list of international sites.

I hope you enjoy looking through my items. I will be adding lots more over the next few days. I have sheets and sheets of ideas so keep checking back.
