Donna Little, Tatted Jewelry
As a career Florist and Horticulturist, my job was being a plant and flower
geek. My hobby is tatting. Tatting is the lacemaking version of knotting and looping, used by fishermen and net
makers.
The art of tatting has been passed down from generation to generation. I learned from
my grandmother, who tatted doilies, edgings for pillowcases, tablecloths and clothing. I tat to create gifts for family, friends and coworkers.
When I retired in 2021, I had more time to explore ideas I had about tatting jewelry. I wanted to introduce tatting to a more contemporary use. I thought, why not turn tiny
doilies into earrings and other jewelry, including necklaces, bracelets and more.
This isn’t my grandmother’s tatting.
I am proud to showcase my tatted jewelry, exclusively, at Daffodil Designs, in the Gatlinburg Arts and Crafts Community. I’m enjoying the opportunity to highlight the art and tradition of tatting and honor
‘Granny’.

Karen Lehmberg, Ceramicist
Above all else, Karen considers herself a devoted lifelong learner. The arts have always held a prominent role in her life and working with clay is another chapter in her artistic journey. A long-time resident of Nashville, Karen enjoys the rural beauty of Tennessee and often visits Gatlinburg to enjoy the fantastic Smoky Mountains. She is inspired by ‘creatures and colors’ and finds ways to incorporate both of these into her handcrafted pieces. She uses stoneware clay and food safe glazes to create her trinket jars and animal bowls. These pieces are thrown on the wheel and then embellished or altered with hand-sculpted elements. After undergoing two kiln firings, each is then hand-painted with two to three coats of glaze. A lot of attention and love poured into each creation. It is the artist’s hope that the end result is something unique and whimsical to brighten someone’s day.
