'Tiles'

Very versatile and original, this pattern is designed to allow you tat the whole motiv without cutting the threads until the end of the work.
As every tatter knows, cutting the threads while working is sometimes necessary, still quite unconfortable: it not only slows down our work, but also causes a point of 'weakness' over it.
it doesn't demand any particular abilities, except for the Split Ring Tecnique.

Enriching the lace with a glass beads frame turns into a precious result: this beautiful colour thread matches perfectly with pearl white glass beads and white-pink crystals to get a more 'elegant' jewel.

These aquamarine half-crystals have such a beautiful colour and they match perfectly with my thread: a beautiful fresh turquoise flying me straight to the Sardinian sea!







When I design patterns, my intent is always to find the better way through tatting my motiv: the most confortable way giving me the better results.

This simple pattern was quite hard to achieve: I had to find the correct sequence to get the squares in the right position: the result to me was a real achievement: the pattern allows you to choose both the heigth and the length of your motiv, and to some extent also the shape. 
The resulting motiv looks like a grid, into which you can fit a shaped decoration, as you do for cross-stitch embroidering. 

This being still a small tile, allowed me anyway to insert a black crystals cat decoration.

This bracelet offers you more possibilities if you want to enrich it with beads or crystals.
Here, I chose not to tat a frame around it, though I believe the frame would add preciousness to it.

This is how it looks like in a pink version: I tatted this for a custom request, and, though I didn't figure out what I would obtain, I was really glad with the result.

Now, if you want to give it a try, you can find this pattern, both with English, or with Italian explanation texts in my Etsy shop. Just follow the links and
