The Pay Off

  Yarnplayer's, Celery #40                                           #22 Motif Challenge


Goodness!  I really did this! 
This one is for you, Elisadusud - with many thanks.

Lots of boo-boos, but a good beginning.  I am pleased.


I forgot to post this:



I tatted it for agasunset and used the metallic thread that Suneeti sent to me along with many other coloured samples of metallic thread.  I love all the colours, but I've got to tell you - it is so difficult to tat with - especially that small centre.


Grrrr.

  2. I am tatting a purse with a mettalic thread which now has a lot of loose ends. How did you get the end in? I don't think I have a needle small enough. Leeanne lvb56003@yahoo.com

  3. Hi, Leanne,
    I used the needle in the picture - a regular sharp sewing needle. Tight, but it worked.

  6. Shannon,
    Do what? Clunies? You have to find them on various sites, or there is a little booklet from Handy Hands that has instructions.

    That is how I learned. It would be far easier of you could find a real live person to show you how to do it.

    Oh yes, I also learned these in the TAT course - the third part of it.

    Go to Elisadusud's blog - the link is above - and see the best clunies in the world!

  12. I love this snowflake and thank you again for giving it to me. You know how much I appreciate your effort of putting metallic flower inside. I have it attached to my flash drive and i'm looking at it all the time!! It reminds me of great friend that inspired me so much and that I had a great time with here in NYC.
    Did you see the picture of it with my thing?
    Its right here:

  14. Your cluny motif is MAGNIFICENT!

    Of the metallics that Suneeti sent the red is the only one so far to give problems, the blue, and bronze tat ok.

  15. This cluny motif is so attractive in these colors! Beautifully done!
    I doubt that I have the patience for clunies, but you certainly have 'conquered' them!

    And your tatting over rings is also excellent. Haven't tried that yet, either! Nice placement of beads.

    You are one busy gal!!

  16. Hi Kathy,
    Conquered? Not so! Take a look at Elisadusud's site; that is what I strive for! Her tatting is fabulous. But, thanks for the encouragement!
