The newly improved version: this
time, following the pattern!
You compare:
Well, what do you think? It's not Elisadusud, but it is a step forward, I think. Deviating from the pattern at my stage of the learning curve? Not a good idea! I am not counting adding the BEADS, course. I mean, there are only 6 of them, for goodness sake...

Clunies are difficult to press. This is my method of choice. I do not think my criminal law professors would be at all amused...

Anon,
Oh, I wish you were closer to guide me with clunies...LOL
ReplyDeleteTHAT is the way I 'press' my tatting too. Good thing I've been a readerof large books. :>)
Lovely work Fox....

Hi, BJ!
ReplyDeleteI wish we lived closer...period. Thanks for the visit!
♥ Fox : )
I am jealous that you can do clunies. But I must say I have not tried yet. They look hard to do. I am hoping to have Rita in Cambridge teach me this September at the tatting weekend. She is a needle and shuttle tatter and is doing an advance tatting class. I block all my tatting in water first then drain it and let them air dry overnight. But on the difficult one maybe I will try your way!!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks really nice and the colors make me think of royalty subtly. :)
ReplyDeleteHow GORGEOUS, Fox! Your work is so precise! How beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteLovely work. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI am watching this with interest...I have had a bash at clunies, but wasn't overwhelmed by my result. Elisadusud's blog and videos help but I am a bit of a scaredy cat.
ReplyDeleteI can do clunies in bobbin lace...but that is a bit easier. :)
Beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteAwwww... I am blushing! Thank you for your comments.
ReplyDeleteI am determined to get these clunies looking like I want them to look. Your words have give me such encouragement.
♥ Grateful Fox : )
Hello Fox,
ReplyDeleteWell, You are on the good way to tat clunies very well...
Zowie! I nearly fell off my chair when I read that last comment! A visit from the Queen of Clunies!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Elisadusud! You made my day!
Fox the Elated : ))
Wow...this is lovely. I've only been tatting a shortwhile and I believe this is only the second time I've come across Clunies. Looks like I have plenty more to learn!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Mimi!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Check out Elisadusud's blog: 'Fils et dentelles,' which you can see on my blog list. She is the absolute best at clunies. I love looking at her work and learn a lot from her photos.
Good luck and keep practicing!
Fox : )
