In South Carolina I received a lot of gifts, all very useful for my purpose of the jewellery book. From the Palmetto people I received a bead tray, which I enjoy a lot, and a picot gauge. From Joanie I received another tipe of picot gauges, a lot of findings, a pair of glasses to put over the others, which acts like a magnifier, thread for beads and a special scissors to cut it, small containers for small tools, bead threaders, and more. Jane Henson gave me a lot of small clips to hold the thread ends of the balls and a ball of variegated thread. And I saw some techniques which speed up my way to charge the beads on the thread.

Hi Iris.
Your earring is beautiful. Cannot wait to see and get your jewelry book! I have drawn several pieces the way you taught at Tat Days but have not worked them up yet. I will send you photos when I do. Your design class is so great because it makes one think and understand how to create a pattern. I will never forget you.

Hello Iris: I am very interested in how you work with the stone in your tatting. I live in an area of many different types of stone; agate, turquoise; there is a large group that look for all kinds of stones. I hope to buy your jewelry book, especially if it tells how to work the stones within the rings of beads. Very beautiful work.

Dear BJ,
if the stones have a whole inside to put the thread through, than it is easy. If there is no whole, then there are also ways to include it into a jewellery, but it is a bit more complicated. I would really like to insert those stones you speak about. Let me see some on your blog.
