Party Pictures

I finally get a chance to post a couple of pictures from the party. It really was a nice affair. In the top picture you can see the happy recipient holding up his bookmark. It is the Clover Bookmark by Kelly Luljak tatted with Lizbeth Size 20 thread. Here is the link: http://members.iglou.com/mantia/crafts/bookmark.html . This is my motif # 3. Thank you Kelly for the lovely pattern.

In the next picture you can see my colleague Alex on the left, one of our graduating residents in the center and me on the right. We shall miss them!

More Bookmarks

This is Jon's overlapping chains bookmark. I made it in contrasting colors because I wanted to really show off the overlapping chains. Here is the link: http://tatsaway-patterns.blogspot.com/2008/08bookmark-with-overlapping-chains.html The thread is Size 30 Star Gem. As always it was a pleasure to work one of Jon's patterns. They are so well thought out. Thank you Jon for sharing! This was one of the bookmarks I gave away at the Graduation Party and has gone with it's new owner to Boston. This is my motif # 2 the second time around.

Graduation Party

Hard to believe the Graduation Party was almost three weeks ago. It was a nice affair. Everybody got dressed up and we had great food and drink, speeches and dancing. This year we had three graduates and each one loved their tatted bookmark! The bookmark is a pattern by Kersti Anaer. I love this pattern. The thread is Lizbeth Size 20. I put the variegated color on the Shuttle and used the solid color as the ball thread. This will be my Motif # 1 for the second time around.
