Tatted Celtic Knot Pumpkin

I tatted this pumpkin using thread from 1970s which was just "lying around". In fact, I chose this thread as part of a challenge and then Ruth Perry kindly provided me with the pattern and thought they would be the perfect combination.

Tatted Motifs

Here are two examples of small tatted motifs; the first is a beaded tatted dragon which I completed as part of a tatting challenge, and the other is a very quick motif which I could have made larger by continuing with the rings and chains (but decided against it, only because there are a lot more tatted patterns I want to complete).

Wicked

Completed my WICKED top in the most glorious Noro Garden Silk Lite (wool and silk). It was beautiful to knit and I love the colourway (although it is now discontinued). Whilst I don't intend wearing this top next to skin, I will wear it over a long sleeved t-shirt.

New Tatting Shuttle

Hedre is a stunning handmade Goddess tatting shuttle I received from Noreen http://www.crone-findlay.com/Crone-Findlay-Creations-Tatting.html She is extremely clever, making different types of shuttles including dragons, however the Goddess caught my eye.

Retro Handbag

This is my recently completed retro handbag. I intended to put silver chain as the handle, but couldn't find anything suitable. Once I do find the chain I will substitute the black handle for it.

Felted Hat

I knitted this hat in Bendigo's Rustic wool. It was gigantic until I felted it (intentional) and now it is a lovely firm hat with a brim which can be worn either up or down.

Crochet of the Month - September

Completed this month's crochet-along. Just a few more months and then I will be hard at the assembly of the quilt.

Fruit

Another photo challenge, this time the theme is "Fruit" and for something different I altered the photo to get this interesting effect (reminds me of something Andy Warhol would have painted).

Tranquil

Here is my entry in a photo challenge "Tranquil'. This photo was taken at Werribee Beach; a nice beach to visit but not to swim/

Colour Pencil Art

Dug out my Prismacolors today and did a little more on my Cat colour pencil drawing. All in all, it should have around 30-50 layers by the time of completion (which is a way away). It's a slow process, a WIP (work in progress).

I mainly use watercolour in art as I love the "free" nature of the WC, however for something a little more intense color pencils are the right medium for me.

Felted bag

I participated in the Ravelry She-Knits KAL and here is the finished product - a very thick, felted bag with pockets on the outside (and inside). I love the colours, the wool felted superbly (Rustic from Bendigo Woollen Mills).
