Musings and Mystery

I tatted this heart almost three years ago, and I must say this Mary Konior looks the same as the heart pattern in the new Jan Stawasz book.

Because this man has been outspoken over the years about copyright issues, it strikes me as an odd thing that he has published a book of his designs with a Mary Konior credit in it, attached to one of his designs.

Although he gives credit to her, his design is virtually a replica of Queen of Hearts - with a clover at the tip and not a ring.

It just seems to me to be a bit out of character. Though I have never met the man, nor corresponded beyond ordering shuttles from a relative of his -  he was very ill at the time - I have a distinct impression of his personality.

In my mind, this person would not include in his book his design with “Based on a design by Mary Konior” in the margin in tiny, very inconspicuous type!

Maybe I am way off-base. I had the thought that he has not been involved much with the publishing of the second book, nor with the re-publishing of the first one. His permission must be there, I realize, but I do wonder...  

These are things that go on in my mind when I make colossal tatting errors! You can see why!

Here is another of my Queen of Hearts tattings 

from about three years ago. 

This one is designed by Mary Konior.

Here is my second attempt from that Jan Statsz new book

Diane said she could not see the mistake, and 

I love her for saying that, but it did not! 

I had missed all but one of the rings on the third round. 

Here are the two motifs together and you can see what happened.
