Tatted Treasure


Inspired by the childhood memory of a lace edging her mother made, this artist has been captivated by the traditional art of tatting. Krystledawne, on ArtFire (which has closed), is the place to discover fine tatted lace jewelry. Krystle’s earrings, necklaces, rings, and hair ornaments are uniquely designed and many incorporate accent beads. The gorgeous bridal choker and earring set is available in several colors by special order. Don’t miss the little pumpkin earrings, definitely a hit for the fall season.

Krystle hand dyes cotton thread in an array of exclusive colors and shades to further ensure the uniqueness of her little works of art. She offers dyed thread in several sizes for your needlework creations.
When you are ready to stand out, tatted earrings are lightweight, full of personality, and offer a distinctive flair. In addition to her tatted pieces, she incorporates tatted elements as the focal point in some of her necklace designs.

Krystle tats her heirloom treasures in Washington State, ships internationally, and can be found on Etsy and Facebook. She is happy to work with you on special orders. Visit her blog for sneak peeks and more examples of her intricate designs. Tatting is still on my list of things to try!

Tatted Lace Jewelry by Elizabeth

Tatting is something I have always thought I would try someday, and finding this amazing shop has renewed that interest. Elizabeth’s Lace on ArtFire combines beauty and fashion with tradition in an unbelievable collection of tatted treasures. The addition of beads to some of her creations enhances their unique charm.

Trained by her grandmother, Beth has been perfecting her craft for over 15 years. In addition to her wide selection of finished items, she also makes some of her original patterns available for those who may want to try their hand at this knotty art form.

Beth takes custom pattern and color orders, works in Pennsylvania, and ships internationally. Visit her website to see other dramatic pieces and check out the show schedule if you would like to see her art in person. Thank you Beth for enhancing this traditional craft for future generations.
