Brava!<br /><br />*gasp* No wonder I couldn't find those lovely cross patterns in my Mary Konior books. I don't have that one! <br /><br />I especially like the Wrought Iron cross, but the Rockingham is splendid too. Well done, well done!<br /><br />And I can't stop exclaiming over your new header image (with the large pink flower paired with delicate, beaded tatting). <br /><br />As my favorite French professor, Dr. Fortis, used to say, "Incroyable!"IsDiharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129251975229390303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-82434132745635436142010-08-09T13:29:12.833-04:002010-08-09T13:29:12.833-04:00For me, it is not the finished piece that makes me...For me, it is not the finished piece that makes me happy.

Yo...Your description of tatting is right on target! Your two crosses are beautiful. I am also amazed at how simple a pattern can seem when revisited at a later date. I sometimes wonder if I'm just not meant to tat when I find a pattern I can't understand.Lace-lovin' Librarian ~ Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032689683092213368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-71239881959940311172010-08-09T12:44:46.696-04:002010-08-09T12:44:46.696-04:00I always appreciate the evenness of your chain wor...I always appreciate the evenness of your chain work. Usually if you don't like something you've done, it is the chains that are the weak element. But your chains in these crosses are great. I notice this, I guess, because I have so much trouble with long chains being consistent in work…to get the same curve on each side of a motif; hard for me….<br />Beautiful crosses. Which MK book is it from, Visual Patterns? or another?

I'm either chasing them down before the dogs lap them up or they are in my way. I know! I just need to practice some of the newer techniques. So how about sharing a post of your favorite methods for loading beads, adding beads, etc. You obviously enjoy them tremendously. Maybe you'll inspire me.Eliz Davis aka Tatknothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13560518278370416698noreply@blogger.com
