...with
Evelyn
Last year, after I designed Maeve, I fooled around with the basic shape of that pattern and came up with the green and coral version of Evelyn below.
Yesterday, I tatted it with Jess's super hand-dyed thread and Lizbeth in #40, after finding the identical doodad in my favourite bead store!
Although the thingy is convex, and a bit of a pain to work with, I love the kind of heraldic look it gives to the motif.
So, I am very curious. What do you think?
Hi Fox,
ReplyDeleteWhat do I think, its beautiful and a beautiful pattern, you are on a roll, well done
Hope you are keeping well.
Love to Gian

Thanks, Margaret! I am glad you approve!

Thank you, Sarah!

Gorgeous! Where can I get it? I love the top one, glorious colors!
ReplyDeleteYou do? Thank you! I am so pleased! I am writing up the pattern now.
DeleteFox : ))
This is lovely, Fox, and I really like the colours you've chosen for this. The HDT in the center is especially nice! Way to go! And keep on. Loving the patterns.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Suz! The encouraging words are much appreciated. Glad you like it!
DeleteFox : )
I love it! I'm still waiting (impatiently) for my doodads!
ReplyDeleteDiane, Thank you!
DeleteYesterday, because of you, I made the trip to the bead store... : ))
Fox

ReplyDeleteOhh, I love it when you say that! Thanks, Isdihara!

Coucou Fox, j'aime beaucoup les couleurs du premier!!! Et le fait qu'il s'appelle Evelyn me plait beaucoup...Comment puis-je l'obtenir???
ReplyDeleteHi, Charlette,
DeleteMerci beaucoup!!
Je pense que je vous ai dit une fois que le nom me grand-mère était Evelyn! J'aime le nom ...
Le motif? Je l'écris maintenant ... Et je suis la frivolité un autre dans des couleurs différentes ... Restez à l'écoute!
bisous

I am envisioning a stiff wire with a bead on the end to go through the convex doodad so that it could sit in a vase with it's loveliness like a flower. :o)
ReplyDeleteI love how our thread looks with the purple and light green beads.
Well, that is an interesting take! Thanks, Jess. The thread really gives it life!
DeleteFox : )
They look wonderful! I really like the top one (lots!) I think I'm going to have to go look for more doodads myself. Such a hardship...
ReplyDeleteOh, poor you! Thank you, tattrldy, for the vote of confidence! I appreciate it!
DeleteFox : )
I really love both versions, so I hope you'll give the patterns for both!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Miranda!
DeleteBoth versions? Which both? They are the same!! They look different because of the contrasting thread in the second version... Is that what you mean?
Fox : 0
I swear I see chains in the green and coral one that aren't there in the purple one, or like you tatted over the doodad between rings. Maybe I'm not looking at it right, though.
DeleteYou had me sweating there... Eagle eyes you are! i was using a thicker thread in the green one and I think you are seeing the attaching ds that looks like a chain...
DeleteI love the lavender and HDT at the top. so very pretty.
ReplyDeletelike Miranda, I had to look a couple times, because I too thought there were more ds attaching the doodad in the coral and green.
They are very pretty.
Ladytats, I must have checked the pattern a billion times... I am now feeling overly cautious, because I have to write this thing up now; but I see what you mean. i think that more of the metal was covered with the larger thread, as I said to Miranda, and that fact definitely confuses the eye when making a comparison between the two doodads. The second one looks a lot smaller... BUT IT IS NOT!! : ))
DeleteI hope to get the pattern written tonight or tomorrow. I have also completed another motif in a different colour combo. I will post both soon. Thanks for your very valuable input!

Hi Fox, it is absolutly beautiful! I love this middle flower thing:)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Orsi!
DeleteI am glad I found the same doodad for the purple one that I had last year in the red and green one.
Fox : )
Absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you like it, Jane!
DeleteFox : )
Oooh, the purple one is so very elegant!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue! I am happy to hear those words!
DeleteFox
Wow, best yet! You really are on a roll :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!. Glad you like this.
