#10 Motif Challenge
Suneeti sent me some Rayon thread and I have spent hours trying to tame it. In the end, I managed this pattern by Judi Banashek. from Impeccable Tatting.
but not before a lot of this...
I had wanted to tat one of Jon's patterns, but I could not get the rayon to co-operate,
so I tatted the Banashek instead.
Thanks, Suneeti!
It was ... hmmm... interesting tatting with rayon 2-ply. : ))

What beautiful colors! Well, worth your effort. I'm admiring how even your stitches look.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet design and adorable colors! :)
ReplyDeleteVery sunny colors. I'm interested to know: did you use the thread heaven on the rayon? It looks so tangly. (is that a word?)
ReplyDeleteThe Banashek is a nice pattern.
That is perky and happy color, nice tatting piece too!
ReplyDeleteYour motif is so pretty! Congratulations on getting the rayon to behave :)
ReplyDeletevery pretty colors, I have always been partial to that type of color way. I know exactly what you are talking about with the rayon, it has a mind of it's own, and the rayon threads that I have used, don't like to hold the knots, it wants to untie itself. However, your motif looks very good and it looks like you tamed your rayon thread.
ReplyDeleteGreat colours, great motif, great job!
ReplyDeleteBe careful what you wish for???? Imagine if it had been a condo in Rosedale ... S
ReplyDeleteOh, I really, really want that sweet little place in Paris. Oh, did I say Paris? Silly me, I mean Rosedale... really a lot, so much.... : ))
ReplyDeleteWhat?
Lovely colours and motif, not tried Rayon it looks lovely thread and beautiful colours but it looks slippery.

I agree with everyone else, the colors are so pretty! Well worth the trouble of tatting with the rayon thread!! Love the shape of this motif also!!
ReplyDeleteMargaret, Slippery does not begin to describe how smooth it is...
