#18 - 100 Motif Challenge
Thread by Tatskool, pattern by Sabina Carden-Madden
I have learned a wonderful new trick thanks to Frivole. I am happy to know how to manage loop-tatted rings. Thank you, Frivole!!Thread by Tatskool, pattern by Sabina Carden-Madden
However, I will NOT be tatting this pattern again! Very fiddly and I am not thrilled with the result.
Look at Frivole's and you can see why mine is less than stellar. *sigh*. I knew my flash of confidence would be short-lived!
I also must admit that blocking the beast was also a pain. So there!
On a lighter side, I must share this. I barely managed to contain my my hysterical laughter, while reaching for my camera.
Gian Battles The Paper Bag

Amazing work as always. I love the added beads to it. The color is just amazing.

ReplyDeleteThe little bag is not fit for you to put your head into. A bigger one works nicely though. Try barfing on the little bag to give Her a hint.

Hilarious times when a gorgeous Gian and a paper bag come into contact. I remember using a large paper bag and scratching the outside back, and Puss would charge into the bag to attack the paper monster. What fun! Who needs t.v.?
ReplyDeleteI just had a quick read through the pattern. It seems to me that, although it's not written in, it would be better to do a shoelace trick before and after each of those rings on the tips of the points. That would keep the chains from twisting. Just a thought for next time you do a pattern that has something like that...
ReplyDeleteGian looks happy.
Less than stellar- chortle, chortle! I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have a cat- they're so fun, significantly better than tv
I think it looks great, and I love the color!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the snowflake, and love the colors, very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean... however, I don't think yours looks bad - I like it.. but maybe Frivole's has to do with color as well?
ReplyDeleteHAHA... classic cat-head in the bag! love it!
I'm sorry that you had problems with it, but it's really very pretty. I've thought of making it many times, but some how I never get to it.
ReplyDeleteYou are all so very supportive. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI feel better about it now and may even , after great encouragement from Frivole, try it again. Sometime!

Count me among the applauding fans of your candlight motif. The color and bead choices are sublime and I suspect this is one of those designs that works best when tatted in short invervals with calming breaks in between. (Though I could be wrong. I have never tried this one myself.)
ReplyDeleteYou did great! Brava!
It looks wonderful!!! The colours are so bright & cheery. We have 2 cats: Momo and MooShoo & they provide us with lots of entertainment too :)
