So now October is here, and for me that means no more royalties from my Tatted Jewelry book. My contract with the publisher provided royalties for 2 years, and it has been 2 years already. The publishers are very nice folks and did a lovely job on that book, but since I can actually make more money by self-publishing, that's why I plan on self-publishing this next book that I'm working on. It's because tatting is a niche market (aka underground movement, lol :) that a designer can make more money self-publishing, I'm sure that with more well-known crafts such as knitting or quilting, they are better off with a publisher.
By the way, I just read Diane's article! It's a terrific review of the different types of tatting shuttles.
Well, I guess that is all I have to report for now, so I'll get back to work on the book.

Have all your books. They are lovely. I am sure this one will be just as great. Any idea if the Boomerang Earring pattern will be in it (pretty pleeeeeeeeese).
un lavoro veramente delizioso

Beautiful! I can see another book purchase in my future. Now if I'd just sit down and tat from those books...
You go girl!
I'm rally looking forward to this book. Of course I need an autographed copy. ;-)
Your work is always amazing and even just a picture of a work in progress seems to be inspiring!! Can't wait to see your new book!! :)
Any suggestions on books/illustrations to teach myself to tat left-handed? Never could get my Grandmother to even try to teach me :-(
For left handed tatting how-to, you may want to watch TattedTreasures left-handed tatting video on YouTube: http://youtu.be/O5JxgC6ulHU
