Tatting Jewellery

Beautiful pictures and directions of how to tat jewelry, written by Lyn Morton . Her patterns are complete and if you have tatted before easy to put together. This book is so inspiring you just want to grab it and begin right away. Tatting is a wonderful hobby. It catches the attention of everyone watching including gentlemen who remember the hypnotic movements made by their mothers and grandmothers during quiet time. If you are shy, waiting in a public place the graceful movements draw the attention of others as they wonder what you are doing and the gracefulness draws you to the hobby. Supplies are easy to carry along as you travel, in the doctors office and also when you are watching sports etc. I really recommend this. It fills spare time, gives you a sense of accomplishment. When finished you are left with gifts for yourself and others and you acquire lots of friends After tatting for 50 plus years I have no arthritis in my hands!

The picture on the front cover represents nearly all of the projects inside the book. Nearly all are very elaborate and made using the gold thread. Whilst I became sick of many of the projects looking the same, I do like a book to be well represented by its front cover. Afterall I can always change the gold thread used to another colour when I come to make my pieces.This book is not for teaching complete beginners the art of tatting, so if this applies to you, try to purchase a book which teaches beginners, preferably with a dvd as I did(otherwise I would have given up). The movements of the shuttle are so much easier to understand when you can watch someone showing you instead of just a few pictures and arrows.

The designs are stunning. I can't wait to get started on some of these projects. This is one of the first tatting books I have purchased where I might make every design in it. The directions are clear and the pictures are amazing. I can't wait to get started.

The book is great for the experinced tatter, however as the name suggestest the book is a jewellery making book.It would be great if more visual instructions were included.I advise who ever buys this book either be an experinced tatter or buys a simplyfied how to tatting book with it to help go through the patterens.

I purchased this book as a gift for a friend who makes, sells and teaches jewelry making. Her jewelry is always beautiful. She was thrilled to receive a book with new technigues that will challange her skills further. We really marveled at the many colorful pictures - I can't wait to see what she comes up with.

This book is fantastic. There is a distributor in the UK for the thread listed in the Preface of the book, but in searching Amazon they have metalic thread at a more affordable price. The thread needs to be a little heavier than regular metalic sewing thread, unless you want to double it. I found the patterns easy to follow and the results 're beautiful. I modify the patterns with less beads for a different results.

To me it seems like all the patterns in this book look the same. There isn't enough variety for me. The directions are pretty good. I might make one of these pieces, but only one as they all look the same to me. I'm disappointed.

Color choices of the suggested materials is quite limited.

Ich finde die Illustration dieses Buches sehr schön.Es erklärt nicht wie Tatting Occhi funktioniert, das heißt, es sollten Vorkenntnisse vorhanden sein. Die Erklärung ist auf englisch.Mein erstes Projekt ist toll geworden.Ich würde es weiter empfehlen.

Väldigt fina och spännande mönster.

There are lovely photographs of tatted pieces and clear instructions. It’s not for a complete beginner but once you know the basics you can work out the pattern instructions.

BonjourDéçus du résultat, non conforme a mes attente, par contre, tous les services groupés d'Amazone, service client, livraison etc, reste très très professionnels, Bravo Amazon pour votre travail, si les articles commander ne convienne pas a la clientèles, cela ne signifie pas que vos services, en sont responsable, vous n’étend pas les fabriquant, et dépendez pas non plus de leurs qualités, je dirais , c'est d'ailleurs dommage ,sinon, je ne ferais plus partie de vos cliente,
