A little curiosity; a bit of too much energy;
a touch of ennui; a smidgeon of ADD,.

Needle Tatting!
Not bad for the first try, but I don't know how I would ever accomplish this with a needle:
This is shuttle tatted!
Seems to be some confusion!

Once again, and true to form, this one is WRONG! I know what I did, and, of course, I tatted it backwards. I have started the second one and used a green for the chains - I had planned to use the variegated for the chains, but promptly forgot, when I began - and it looks better in all ways than this first try. I'll post it soon.
Well, I think it is good for the first try! It's a shame, needle tatting is a kind of terra incognita for me...
ReplyDeleteSo what do you think of needle tatting? I tried it and although it was great I prefer to shuttle tat!!! The heart looks great and the colours turned out lovely.
ReplyDeleteWow Fox! I've been catching up with you and find I have ALLOT of catching up to do!!! You have been very busy from that BEAUTIFUL Myra Piper motif you tatted up in your own lovely thread, to those adorable Mini-Boss socks and the pretty Celtic pattern you tatted up in blue and white! Now needle tatting! I was only gone a couple days!
ReplyDeleteThe heart is very pretty. I like the solid color on the outside. Green does sound really nice for the chains. I look forward to seeing the new version as well as any other tatting you feel drawn to do!
:) Ann
nice !
ReplyDeleteIt is brave to try with needles ;-)
You do not ever lose your needles? that arrives at me all the time then I prefer shuttles ....
