"Misha" Goes Pink

#22 Motif Challenge

I am still working with the Serif  draw programme.  No success.  I loathe drawing patterns, a fact very strange to me, because years ago, in another lifetime it seems,  I was a designer in the art studio of a major Toronto magazine!

Now, I just want to tat the design, not draw it - especially using a keyboard.

******************

Tatting the corner of the you-know-what! So very much un-tatting! 

I would have had two hankies finished by now had I had not had to spend so much time correcting errors and cutting out large bits!.  All because I cannot count....


I get these counts wrong again and again.

Put a rat in a maze to look for cheese at the end, and if there is none at the end of the search, s/he will accept that there is no cheese and will not run the gamut again.  

Not me. Oh, no. I continue to race, again and again, down that blasted maze searching and hoping for the non-existent hunk of cheese that I know with certainty will be there, waiting for me at the end of the line. Uh-huh.

******************
After the hankie, I will be on to new projects!

  4. Threads and beads! Is there anything more pleasing to the eye? I think not.

  5. Pretty edging! Maybe the multiple picots work for the corners, unless other corners were already done, tricky edgings >:D

    The red thread reminds me of peppermint... That will be nice!

  6. Lovely thread and beads, I am wondering what you are going to do with it. Love your new design I know what you mean about drawing and then tatting it, my drawings never seem to look the same in tatting.

  8. When I was taking the design class ~ for information, not to be a designer ~ I always drew the patterns first with a pencil and then used the drawing program (not Serif). Made it easier that way, but the program I use, you don’t have to know math and it makes the picot shape all by itself, you don’t draw it out. I actually liked the writing it down part...but didn’t enjoy the drawing that much. And my design ‘failed’ to pass any test. No one test tatted it! LOL I wanted it to look like some of the lovely open work in Victorian Jewelry. Love the negative space in that period’s jewelry. xx bj
