Low FLAT RATE shipping means you can save when ordering multiple items. Get a group together and save even more. Also, all earrings can be ordered as CLIP ON for those without extra holes in their heads so as you think about the loved ones you wish to surprise with thoughtfully chosen gifts, you have more options.
Sadly, due to excessively high shipping costs, I have restricted shipping to US, Canada and Mexico only.

5 out of 5 starsCute pattern. For me, the 4-bead foot was not a problem because I’ve used beads for many types of projects. But for someone not used to beads, there could be a little more instruction on how to make the 4-bead cluster and how to most easily move that cluster up and down the thread.

5 out of 5 starsWonderful necklace a great design, love the steampunk look to it. The hot pink color is spectacular, this style would also look interesting with some gears added into a design. If you ever decide to experiment with something like that, would definitely be interested. Also great service was also provided, thanks again. Lynn

5 out of 5 starsThis pattern was easy to follow, even for a very new tatter. Thank you! I opted for only 3 beads for front legs. Adorable little frog will be a bookmark for a young friend.

Hand-dyed thread. This particular skein is tan/brown/black and what I use for my "Bastet" collection - named for my cat -

I like to call this my "critter" collection since it includes animals and non-abstract designs.
Lace Jewelry and Ornaments
Tatting is a form of knotted lace which is quite different from both crocheting and knitting. It is delicate and yet sturdy because of the nature of the knots. Each piece is lovingly hand made by me right here in the U.S. with the finest materials available. Cotton is my preferred thread since it holds the knots well and is available in a kaleidoscope of colors.
Follow me on Facebook (Tatting by Wendy - lace jewelry) to see what the inspiration is behind each new collection. For example, a few years ago my family adopted a tortoiseshell cat and her colors inspired the Bastet collection. Join in the conversation. Suggest a new design or color combination. Maybe even win a contest! If Instagram is your thing, I'm there as Wendy_the_Lacemaker. Both Facebook and Instagram are about a lot more than just lace.
I started selling my lace on eBay to balance my cross stitch pattern habit. Well, many years later, here I am, tatting away like mad and loving every moment of it. I'm constantly tweaking my favorite designs and creating new ones. Plus, as I acquire new threads and beads, the possibilities are endless.
I'm thrilled that my craft is allowing me to be an at home mother and mentor to my daughter and other kids in my neighborhood. Combining science, math and high quality craft is truly a blessing.

Tatting is my passion. Not a day goes by without a shuttle in my hand. However, my house is home to lots of other crafts so you may see polymer clay, crocheting, knitting, spinning, needlepoint, and other media pop in to this store for a visit.

If you see something on my website (tattingbywendy.com) that you like but would rather purchase through Etsy, I will be happy to create a special listing just for you.
I prefer to use DMC or Lizbeth brand threads for my tatting although I have started experimenting with hand dyed thread too. While I am using either cebelia style or pearl cotton, the DMC color numbers are the same as for the floss found in many craft stores which can be helpful when placing custom orders.
