#15 Motif Challenge
I am getting restless ... so, I just aimlessly tat, although I am happy with the results. This is Sharon's "Phaedra," from Tatted Flurries.I am procrastinating about tackling the drawing part of the Design Course. Not sure why; I love all things techie, computers and challenges of the new, so what the block is, is a mystery to me. It is, however, real.
I love it. And I think I will never make a sort of tatting like this pink things ( Is that cluny? ).
ReplyDeleteVery nice work!!!
I actually opened mine last night to review what I needed to do. Got a couple of ovals drawn but I really really needed to get to bed so I stopped at that. It's that learning curve that makes me procrastinate. Once I learned what the icons were and how to move around a bit, it was fun. I have to relearn it all over again since I didn't keep up with it. This time I will make my templates though and it will become easier and easier.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors and the pearls are the perfect touch! I have GOT to figure out split chains so I can tat more flurries.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the drawing part. As I entered that part of the design class, I was behind - can't even remember why. Anyway, although I also love doing computer stuff, I just couldn't get it together for the drawing part. Then I got distracted by the press and it wasn't until I was working on its pattern that I realized I may want to have a go again at drawing up a tatting pattern.
Don't be like me - make the leap now while the class is running - I rarely regret giving something a try, but I OFTEN regret not trying something.
Perhaps you should sit down with the program for a little while, with no real purpose, and just tinker with it. Maybe a bit of the block will crumble for you...

Yes, indeed, orsi!
ReplyDeleteThe pink things are cluny leaves (called tallies).
Thank you so much for noticing, as I am very proud of them!
Fox : )
Thank you Gina and Ann, for those thoughts. I think I will sit down and work through the programme and get familiar with it. That is the only way...

Fox, oh Fox, every time I see your page there is something awesome. You've got the talent, why being so reluctant.. Give it a try, if it does not work out, so be it. A bit more confidence, Fox, you'll turn into a great designer, you'll see!
ReplyDeleteYour snowflake is sweet! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it and the colours are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh, so pretty it is.
ReplyDeleteThe clunies at the ends are so sweet and unusual. I like where you put the beads too. Pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour "Phaedra" is beautiful! You make wonderful clunies.
ReplyDeleteI've been a little hesitant to start on the drawing, too. I finally did and it wasn't too bad. I'm going to scrap my first try and start again, though. But the center is the easy part - doing the outside won't be that easy. Why did I make 3 different size rings???
I'm sure once you get started you will do as great on job on the drawing as you do on the tatting: )
Yowza! You guys have so much confidence in my ability to tackle the programme!
ReplyDeleteI tried it and I CANNOT get the hang of it at all! I am totally hopeless at drawing a curve!
Ah, well... I will try again, but this does not bode well!
Fox The Inept : ))
Why not sit down, take up a pencil and doodle..work out your design ‘free-handed’? Begin with the familiar and then move forward.
ReplyDeleteI’d write more but I can’t see through Pippa, who thinks she is composing at this laptop! She is VERY interested in the cursor!
