I am so excited!
I have created something for tatters,
at least for THIS tatter!
I made one and have used it all week
and it is EXACTLY what I have wanted for ages.
I shall show you my brainwave on Sunday.

#19 Motif Challenge
I slipped it into the condolence note that I sent her. Though this may seem an odd thing to do, I felt that since her mother was quite elderly, a celebration of life for her could merit a small (tasteful, I think) tatted motif. Anyway, I sent it!This is Jon's pattern; at least it was, till I saw that I had done 5 rather than 6 rings in the centre! Oh, no!
I wanted to get the thing mailed so I took great liberties with the design and you can see what happened - the big ring at the top is not supposed to be there - but I rather like it!
Sharon's course must be working. I seem to be getting bolder...
You've made a very nice gift for your friend. It'll clean much better than the dried roses I have that my friend gave me when my Mom passed over four years ago. (they were fresh roses then) Looked at them today and thought I should toss them but didn't/couldn't. She'll be thankful for your kindness every time she sees it. I rather like the larger ring at top. Karen in OR
ReplyDeleteActually, I think it's a rather lovely keepsake; your friend will remember her mother every Christmas season, it is definitely appropriate for the occasion.
ReplyDeleteSo many secrets around at the moment - yours, Jane's, and also Liyarra's. Almost too much excitement to cope with! I love having all these surprises to look forward to.
That's a lovely, thoughtful gift, Fox. I like the way you've changed some of the design elements to make it unique!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many surprises in Tat-land lately! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Fox,
ReplyDeleteYou made it with love. The colors are very hoiday & it looks elegant! The person you sent it to will treasure it. Mistakes are blessings, that end up being for good. I think it's wonderfully done!
It is a good idea for your friend, she will be comforted I thinks
ReplyDeleteI think it was very considerate of you to send the tatting. And such a lovely piece, too. I thought that top ring was supposed to be like that, it looks good. It's great that you're getting more confidence with your tatting - look out world, here comes Fox's designs!
ReplyDeleteHey Fox, way to go! Your tat looks great, and what fun to see you 'ad-libbing'. Here's to getting bolder!
ReplyDeleteI like it, and I think the larger ring at the top looks like it was supposed to be there! :)
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is, I'm sure I want one, too. Looking forward to the big reveal.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I think the motif is a great idea.
