Fresh out of the studio is another of Dave's upcycled tatting shuttles. 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 stylized Swallowtail Butterfly using pyrography (burn etching). Beeswax was used to finish each shuttle.As always, this tatting shuttle has been initialed and dated by Dave.

The Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly 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 graceful Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly using pyrography (burn etching). This tatting shuttle has been initialed and dated by Dave, the maker. Beeswax was used to finish each shuttle.

Scrimshaw Mammoth Ivory Scissor Fob
Dave made this inspirational scissor fob by scrimshawing (etching with ink) on a ingot of ancient woolly mammoth ivory. I beaded it using 49 strand platinum professional beading wire with Butterfly Swarovski crystal beads and round rose quartz beads. The overall length is about 4 ½ inches long. The scissors in the photo are for display purposes only.
