 Continuing from my previous post (https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2023/09/happy-endrucks-1.html), here is the second batch of models all derived, designed, and tatted by Krystyna Mura, from Endrucks' pattern #31! 

Words fall short hence sit back and enjoy the beauty!

While Krystyna hasn't yet shared individual patterns of these derivatives, one can identify the motif from the E31 Doily of Modest Hearts and figure out the stitch count and tatting sequence. Over time, she will share several patterns! 

And these are not all!!!! Stay tuned for the final batch and continue to be amazed.

In November, our Chiacchierino FB group held an event. Daniella Galli diagrammed and presented a 3D angel pattern designed by Rita Santoro - Angelo Veuliah.

The skirt/gown looked like a bell and I was immediately tempted to tat one.

This is in Chameleon Sanbest 6 strands. It is most definitely true to its name! It actually changes from a musty gold in the shade to a vibrant green in sunlight!!! Wow.

The After version with beads, and other knickknacks strung through.

It is worked in one pass. My tatting could've been better, but ...... 

I also tatted one wing in regular thread. My idea was to tat several and use them as petals for a flower. However the single wing is still on the shuttles. Perhaps some day ...

💙 Many many thanks to Roberta and Daniella for this fun diversion 💙

MatheMagical Bells (2D & 3D) 

 download pattern

Why do I do it?! Thinking it would go faster since I already had patterns and diagrams for the MatheMagical series, I chose this for pdf. Sigh, it took me over 5 evenings to get it all straightened, with Numerous changes in the diagrams.

And yet, if made again, I would work the 3D bell differently as highlighted in a note.

It is easier to work the 3 panels of a 3D bell in counterclockwise (turning right at the base without connecting chain) direction rather than the clockwise (turning left after the long base chain) path I took. But I already had pics, and had already spent ginormous amount of time, so let it remain as a Note.

I have also added the count for the silver 3D bell, in case somebody prefers a narrow version.

For many more pics, see the posts listed at the end. 

I’d taken pics of the 3D bell alongside all other bells I could find – glass, silver, wood, papier maché, etc. Whether taken singly or in as a collection, the pics came out either tacky or ‘overkill’ (hubby’s observation).

So, why do I do it? It’s not as if my patterns are popular or anything.

I guess, it’s just this commitment I made to myself and I’d like to at least see Some series through to the end, including the posting! I won’t even think of all the other series I began and either didn’t complete, or didn’t post the final few.

Remember I spoke about a 3D version? Why didn’t the bell in my head toll?! I totally forgot to blog about this. I did start to draw and write up the pattern earlier in the week, but then the bell went silent ;-D

I don't want my blog to go silent .... Sharing only pics here. Pattern pending. I’ll update this post and Google Docs with the link when it is done.

This silver version was made first. 

Tatted in one pass using 2 shuttles, ctm. 

Stitch count is almost exactly that of the tree. 

However, the form looked too narrow.

Started the gold one with a slightly broader base. I like this much better.

Single clapper on a doubled-up thread.

The top has been pulled while photographing, otherwise it has a nice bell-jar curve.

Final measurement in Red Rose metallic size 20 thread, is about 3½cms tall and 3cms wide.

Photos don't do full justice. I tried taking a video, but that wasn't any great shakes either.

Meanwhile I did tat the Sparkle snowflake but cannot find the updated pattern I had typed in 2017/18!!! I have a printout, so it is definitely in my files here somewhere.

I also have a new snowflake for this weekend. And it might become a kind of group project... more about that on Sunday :-)))
