Shuttle tatting is an old art that all-but died out until quite recently. I bought a video class on Craftsy: Shuttle Tatting with Marilee Rockley. Once you have mastered the basics, including the vital flick/switch, she starts you off with these gorgeous little butterflies.
Then she shows you a flower and an edging motif
This is where it gets a little more complicated, lock joins to make this bracelet. Don't worry, these are all practice pieces - any gifts I intend to give will need me to have made many more practise pieces first...
So, that's the start of my foray into the awesome world of shuttle tatting; expect to see more where they came from as I get better over time.
