Motif from a Japanese Tatting Book

Was again looking to tat a motif, and spotted this lovely motif in a Japanese title A New Approach to Tatting by Yusai Shokoin. Very sweet, and I added some seed beads for the fun of it. Not that fun adding beads, actually, because I find that if my concentration slipped even just for a bit, I missed putting in the required bead or two! ")

Tatted in Flora #20 Light Blue

Beaded Hearts

More beading.

(I didn't have all the different-sized crystals and seed beads in the same colour, therefore you are seeing this beaded heart in these colours. But I think the variations make it interesting and the pattern becomes more pronounced.)

Bearbits is having a giveaway. It's a little huggable bear called Tinsley. I know I'd love to have him come live in my home with all the little bear friends I have.
