Originally this was going to be an earring, but the 2 hearts I made of polymer clay didn't match - I mean they were VERY different, so this one got finished 
up into a pendant on a chain. I still like the idea for earrings, so I'll have to make more hearts. I'd like to make a lot of different colors.Speaking of colors, some of the colors in the pendant are similar to a shirt I saw the other night at the meeting I attended for the Loose Bead Society (LBS). I just had to tell the lady, "That shirt you're wearing has wonderful colors in it - I would like to dye some thread in those colors!"
While I was at the meeting I had the opportunity to talk for 5 minutes in front of the group (over 80 people in attendance) about the beginning tatting with beads class that I'm teaching at the LBS March Retreat. I do hope I'll be able to get some more people "hooked on tatting"!

I likey, likey!
I'm constantly amazed at the versatility of tatting and new adaptations for it! Your recent polymer ideas are breaking new ground. You have SO MANY talents and are even becoming a 'public speaker'!
Every time I visit your blog I think I'm browsing through an upscale magazine filled with exquisite photography and eye-popping color - not to mention in-depth tutorials about new and exciting tatting techniques. Thanks so much for sharing all your creative ideas and especially for being a pioneer in hand-dyed threads, which have taken tatting to a new and exciting level!
Wow!
What wonderful encouragement :-D
I appreciate each and every comment, even though I usually don't have enough time for individual responses.
But, Kathy Niklewicz, I think you've written the MOST GLOWING review I have ever received! May I quote you?!!

I love your job. The colors that you create are awesome and the way you combined it with the polymers. are great. I want to learn the technique as good as you do it.
Bye, a hug for you.
