I am still struggling with the 1st of the 3 animals I intend to tat this month. It's almost there, but I still thinking how to tat the last part. Had to take a little break and was doodling, I took whatever thread I have and intended to tat it into a heart. It ended up looking more like an apple, so the leaf was added. I was quite tired when I did the cluny leaf, it looked quite messy. I finished off the stem with a ring, intending to add a thin ribbon or a cord if it is to be used as a bookmark. So, this is an accidental small motif for the challenge - Motif No. 5/25 Apple, made up of 2 butterflies and a flower with cluny leaf and pearl-tatted stem:
I'm not sure I could make a spider web like your son's. It's very cool! I love the apple, even if it's not exactly what you want, it sure is a terrific start!
ReplyDeleteThe apple is really neat. It's great when an "accident" turns out so well - nicely done! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is very cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh that apple is so cool! You are a veritable tatting genius. I'm still waiting for that "Periwinkles" pattern...and then, THE BOOK!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great "mistake"! Very pretty.
