A Pretty Flower

Tatted in size #20 ecru and raspberry pink threads, approximately 1.5" across.

I found another doodad in my stash! What do I know? LOL I keep finding things that have been 'lurking' but noticed (by me) only when the time is right, I'd like to think. So, I promptly tatted on and around the doodad. It's pretty decent. I like this one. Do you?

An Experiment

... that looks like lotsa butterfly wings! LOL



Tatted in Omega #50 variegated purple

Maybe I'll add some beads to the next one. What do you think of this or adding beads?

It's Ready!

I finished the first prototype. Not sure it's the best. Can't label it a snowflake, perhaps a motif. Looks somewhat incomplete to me. Maybe it needs another row so it doesn't look like it's hanging. Maybe. I love the hearts. They are the most well formed hearts in my tatting "career". LOL



Tatted in #20 Kimono thread, Peacock Blue.
Size: 5.5 cm x 5 cm.

Do share your thoughts with me. And, yes, it hasn't got a name yet! Any suggestions?

I'm working on a variation of this and I'll unveil that tomorrow. Till then.

Post blog: Thanks, Fox, for suggesting a name to this motif!

Progress...

A new row I started in the train this morning... I think the little hearts are rather well formed. It's not finished, but I think there are many variations possible with this addition.

Oh, did I mention that I'm using the Kimono thread I bought quite a while back too?

Continue to tune in. :D

Getting A Wee Bit Creative

The Lace-lovin' Librarian started a Diane's Double Doodad Dare, and a handful of creative fellow tatters among us came up with some awesome snowflake and small motif patterns. Suffice to say I've been quietly admiring these inspiring pieces.
Last weekend as I was sorting out the mess accumulated in my cupboard, I found a couple of doodads (smiling right at me!). I forgot I bought some (but put them away because I didn't know what to do with them then). Sounds familiar?

I picked up one piece in an attempt to get creative myself. I'm really only perhaps halfway through to the finished product, but thought you might be interested to get a glimpse. I'm "designing" as I go, if I may say so. I have no idea where this will take me. Just having some fun.
Here's what the motif looks like so far.

 

 

Do stay tuned for more... :D
