New Items: tatted hearts


I've been meaning to design a pretty tatted heart motif for a while.  I've looked for patterns and was never satisfied with the ones available for a simple, small heart. This past week I finally got around to it and after much trial and error (see photo #3), I think I succeeded. I started with an open design, but then realized I wanted to stabilize it so added the traditional "cloverleaf" tatting design in the center.

Set of 3 tatted red heart motifs $4.50
Set of 3 tatted pink and white heart motifs $4.50
the ones that didn't work

    Sue,
    Those are so pretty. There has to be some kind of an object lesson in the ones that just weren't quite perfect. I like them too, just because....

    They look great... And I liked seeing your initial attempts too, so we could see your process.

    I just love them. I use your butterflies on handmade cards that I send to friends and family - so the hearts will be great also.

    ♥♥♥

    What a pretty idea and just in time for Valentine's Day! Just so you know, many people also list items on etsy that didn't turn out how they wanted and list them as etsy mistakes. There's even a team for them. You can describe what the issue is and discount it so that way you still make something for your time and materials.
