Not Quite There Yet

Still too tight...

#75-100 Motif Challenge

So, I took a break and tatted this from the book by Taiko Fujito.

  1. Your heart is really coming along!! Tension is something that can be a brute!! When I finish a piece of tatting I make a note on the pattern if I had to change my tension through out to piece or not. It helps if I ever redo the piece again.
    And your red and white motif looks great!

  2. It's looking pretty good to me Fox! The right-hand side in particular I don't think could be done any better. I would be pleased with this little yellow heart. I'm still struggling along with the Tischband but looking at your nice Fujito motif makes me eager to try something new!

  5. Getting better with the heart motif. :)

    The motif from the Japanese book is gorgeous. I'll have to dig mine out. Haven't tatted anything from there. Thanks for the inspiration.

  6. Your tatting is wonderful. My Flickr friend Janet told me about your blog & I am totally in awe of your skill. You must have enormous patience to do tatting so well.

    1. Pat! *blush* What a lovely comment! Yes, patience for sure. But, if I can do it anyone can! I am dyslexic and have terrible co-ordination, but abundant bull-headed stubbornness!
      Thanks for the visit!

  7. Those CW joins look pretty good to me. Just how much of a perfectionist are you going to be with these?

  14. Just saw the Van-Gogh comment :) I suppose that's an option.... *sigh* although I do wonder what happened to customer service?
