New Upcycled Flat Style Tatting Shuttles

Six new flat style tatting shuttles were listed in the "Fiber Art Tool" section of our Etsy shop today.  These shuttles are 3 1/4 inches long by 1 1/8 inch wide and 1/4 inch thick. Dave made the resin adornments by making a mold of an antique button, and beeswax was used to finish the shuttles.

The Return of the Queen!

.....the "Little Queen Bee" tatting shuttle, that is!  It’s been a while since Dave has made any tatting shuttles. Since he can no longer do the intricate small work required for the more elaborate shuttles, he is going to concentrate on flat shuttles.

This “Little Queen Bee” flat shuttle has been a favorite of our tatting customers (it sold in our Etsy shop before I could get it posted here or on Facebook, but there will be more in the future). Made from upcycled blinds, it is super lightweight and very smooth to the touch with its beeswax finish.

Little Queen Bee Upcycled Wood Tatting Shuttle

Little Queen Bee Upcycled Wood Tatting Shuttle

Sometime back we fitted new wooden blinds in our house and we ended up with slats left over. Since we often like to “re-purpose” things we find, Dave made some lightweight tatting shuttles out of the extra blinds.

This shuttle is 3 1/4 inches long by 1 1/8 inch wide and 1/8 inch thick, and has been adorned with a "Little Queen Bee" using pyrography (burn etching). This tatting shuttle has been initialed and dated by Dave, the maker. Beeswax was used to finish this shuttle.

This "Little Queen Bee" tatting shuttle is currently for sale in our Grizzly Mountain Arts Etsy shop.
