Tatted Baby booties progress and "PEAR GLACE" HDT


This is a new HDT, (Hand Dyed Tatting thread), that I have been working on for approx one month. I just couldn't seem to get the color just right but I had a brain wave and finally produced what was floating around in my head. "PEAR GLACE" has subtle and soft variegation and is lusciously "Peary".

After my last post I stopped following the pattern and went off in my own direction.....big surprise. Now I have ideas for my own tatted baby booty pattern, and this is just the first draft.

Another picture to get a better size reference. I used beads in the toe medallion. I hope my sister-in-law likes them.

Sherry, they're just adorable. I can't imagine anyone not liking them!

Of course she will love them - furthermore its in silk.

For all my DNw n DNc - none have handmade items. But I shower them with love and tenderness. I will teach them to enjoy sports (my Achilles heel) and crafting (most likely to start with scrapbooking).

I'm going to have to dedicate another drawer in my cabinet to HDT's. The pear glace is beautiful. You did a great job on the booties. Lucky baby!
