Ethereal Bookmark: Part 2

~Ethereal Bookmark: Part 2~

(Find part 1 here)

My ethereal rose bookmark is now finished and listed on Etsy.

Find the listing here.

It was carefully tatted, using my original design, in high quality pale pink and white cotton threads. It's 1 3/4 inches (44 mm) at it's widest point and just under 6 1/2 inches (162 mm) long. It comes in its own handmade  stiff card slipcase. Care instructions included.

If you would like this in different colours, please check out my custom listing here. 

I'm just about to finish the other gothic bookmark (find a sneak peek here). This will be listed soon.

Ethereal Bookmark

(Find part 2 here)

Hi to all and Happy 4th of July to those in the US.

I'm  currently working on an ethereal bookmark and I thought I'd show you some work in progress pictures.

I'm using my 'Rosa' pattern but this time I've gone for a lovely pale pink thread, in the picture above. 

For the vines I've decided to use a white cotton thread. I'm now up to a point where I can start sewing the ends in. What do you think? I should have this listed in my Etsy shop by tomorrow. 


Keep up to date with all the latest news through my twitter page and Facebook fan page.


Have a nice Wednesday,

My Geeky Side

Good afternoon. I'm letting my geeky side out in this post :P

Two weeks ago I finally started reading Labyrinth by Kate Mosse. I bought it about 6 years ago after it won the Richard and Judy Book Club Award. I'm only 200 pages in but I'm loving it. It's about two women, Alais and Alice (one in the 13th Century, the other in present day) in France and how they reveal the secrets of the Holy Grail.


So last week I decided to look on IMDB to see if anyone was working on an adaptation. Lo and behold there it was. Turns out it's being created right now as a TV mini series by the same companies who worked on Pillars Of The Earth (a great TV series based on Ken Follett's novel of the same name). Here's the site for it.


It stars Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter), John Hurt, Tony Curran and Emun Elliott (Marillion the singer in Game Of Thrones).


I'm getting so excited to see it. I read somewhere that Channel 4 in the UK have the rights to show it sometime this year. I'm sure it will be shown in other countries around the same time.


Here are the two Behind The Scenes videos:

Hope we get a trailer soon. This will definitely keep me going until Series 3 of Game Of Thrones next year!

More Roses

~ New listings ~

'Rosa' bookmark - this limited edition (1 of 2) creation was tatted in blush pink and cream cotton thread with green cotton thread for the vines. Find it here.

'Rosa' coasters - this set of two coasters was tatted in variegated blue cotton thread. This was my prototype design and I have since changed the pattern slightly, so I'm listing them as one of a kind. Available here.

Updates

Good afternoon all. I hope you had a nice weekend. Lots of things to talk about today. First of all here's my latest new listing in my Etsy shop. I'm on a roll with my rose bookmarks.

I tatted this one in Yarnplayer's wonderful 'Corsage' thread with a green thread for the vines. I love how it's turned out. This is a Limited Edition creation. I will only ever make 3 so once they're gone, they're gone. You can buy it here.

Over the weekend I finished another rose bookmark, this time in a lovely hand dyed thread I bought recently in a craft shop in Rochester. Again this will be a limited edition creation. 

There are also large variegated blue roses on the way. If you want to see a sneak peek of this click here.

These are ready to photographed, unfortunately it looks like the British weather is winning at the moment! A large cloud has just appeared. As soon as the sun comes out again I'll photograph then.

In the meantime I'm currently tatting a variegated red rose for a gothic bookmark.

I hope you like these when you see them.

Have a nice day,

Heather x

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.
