Wow! I have my great grandmother's shuttle, with a spool of thread still attached, that sits as an heirloom piece of decor in my home studio. As far as I know, it came up to the Canadian Prairie with her from South Dakota, around 1923... You do beautiful work! Thank you for sharing =)

I think the first time it took me about too weeks - I can make one in a few days now. One needs to know how to tatt rings, chains, and split rings to make it, so it is not a super basic pattern - but in my humble opinion it is cool enough to be a good motivator to learn the techniques needed.

One of the most amazing tatting patterns ever! You've done a fantastic job tatting it. I like the color and the sparkle, too.

Thank you for sharing this! Just wanted to give you a heads up that I blogged about tatting and this awesome dragon today, referring back to your Craftsy profile. We have a tatting instructor at our store, and I hope more people learn to love this old craft! http://nerdysewist.wordpress.com/2012/03/06/nerd-is-the-word-the-girl-with-the-tatted-dragon/

Do you mean using this same pattern? You will have to use thin thread indeed! Or do you just mean tatted earring? either way, that's great, have fun!

What a wonderful piece! I can make split rings, but the single shuttle split rings are new to me.

You can make this pattern using two shuttle split rings too, if you want.
