If you read tat-ology much, you will know by now I cannot leave something alone once I have started a project and the usual problems erupt. I keep picking away at it, until I find some sense of completion. I am still tatting little lupin(e)s, which I trail after myself everywhere - at work, in a book, on a table... little remnants everywhere.
Inspired by The Space Between, I had to find this and try it:
#20 Motif Challenge
I love this pattern. Ah, Mary Konior...
No beads, no special flourishes, just plain, simple tatting of a "fairly" straight - forward motif, to be tatted in one round.will ensure that I concentrate on the basics - I hope! It's all your fault, Jeff! Go look at his rendering. It is fabbo!
Anon,
Attah girl, get back on that bucking bronco and ride 'em! That forget-me-not blue of Tatskool's is so delicate. Is it NEW?
ReplyDeleteMy fingers are getting all tingly at the thought of new HDTs.
I love the convolvulpus. I did not like it in white and passed over it every time but the yellow and white....oooooh-la-la.
ReplyDeleteOh, now, it's hardly fair to blame Jeff; that post was a year ago. :) Is that one of Tatskool's Rainbow Bright solids?
ReplyDeleteMy to-do list is getting longer! Your tatting is inspirational... love the colors and the patterns!
ReplyDeleteI probably shouldn't mention that I started another Ring A Ring O'Roses last night, so I won't. It is a nice pattern. Can't wait to see your snowflake.
ReplyDeleteYou are so inspirational I just love what you do!
ReplyDeleteJeff - Now I am REALLY motivated! ♥
ReplyDeleteMiranda - If you were to read Jeff's comment on the last post, you might realize whey I got into a "Blame Jeff" mode! ; ))
The thread is from months ago - I was saving it. It is from the Swwe Shop series.
Fox : )
Than you, everyone for the comments. They ke.ep me so motivated.♥ Fox : )
Yellow and white looks magnificent :)
ReplyDeleteConvolvulus is one of my favorite patterns. So simple but soooo pretty. I also like your ring a ring o'roses. The onion rings are lovely!
ReplyDeleteDon't get too motivated-I just ran out of thread. I guess the snowflake requires more than 12 yards of thread.
ReplyDeleteHey, I meant what I said. If I ever get brave, I may have to show some of my early work. Most of my early work looks atrocious compared to what it looks like today.
Everything today is so inspiring-too bad I have told myself to try and finish all the current in motion projects before starting others(not that I usually listen to myself-hmmmmm.....must have learned that from my kids) :D
ReplyDeleteAh, Mary Konior...I can say that I love most of her models !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, you can do it !
ancolie
Thank you, ancolie!
ReplyDeleteGod's Kid, That is my problem too - trying to keep it to finishing what is already on the shuttles. I remember when I would only tat one at a time - HAH!
Fox : )
You're tatting without beads?... Are you feeling OK? LOL j/k
ReplyDeleteI love your tatted work regardless of beads or no beads... but there's just something so 'Fox' like about a tatted piece when I see beads! It's like your trademark ;-)
Hmmm... the Mary Konior pattern... I can see little clear crystal beads added to that... oh, I'm getting warm and fuzzy inside just thinking about it!
I think I know what my next purchase will be (some MK books!)
Tatskool has some really nice HDTs.. how did you decide to use it. I know for me, I would have a very hard time choosing the right pattern to go with a special thread! Speaking of special threads... I ordered 4 different HDT's from Sherry, and I'm getting itchy... waiting for them to come in!!
Thanks Fox for your visit.
ReplyDeleteHave a good tatting.
