| Mixed media tatted earrings |
 |
| Work in progress |
Finished today, these are
mixed media tatted earrings, my design. They're based on my
Nouveau pattern, but I added more beads, embellishments, and a wire framework.
The colors of hand dyed thread used were
Gold Dust for the flowers, and
Leafy for the greens. The wire frame is 20 gauge purple coated copper wire, and I wrapped the tatting on with 28 gauge wire, also purple. Tiny Swarovski crystals in amethyst color are in the flowers. The color choices seemed odd at the time, but I'm really pleased with the result!

| Dalek tomato |
Incidentally, on a tomato plant in the backyard I found an oddly shaped tomato that immediately brought to mind, "Dalek"! It's a
Dr. Who robotic character, which I really don't know how to explain to folks who have never seen a
Dr. Who episode, but it only took a few household odds and ends to make one!
The wee villain was very easy to "exterminate" for supper :-)

Wonderful earrings! Dr. Who was on here in South Africa, but it's not my taste, I found it incomprehensible. I'll eat a tomato any time though.
wow great job
The earrings are amazing. Love Dalek, too. I've got to remember to share this post with my oldest daughter who is a long-time Dr. Who fan.
Love the earrings and the Dalek! I've missed the Doctor lately. Been too busy with the Fair and all things creative! Time for a bing watch session.....
