I must thank Stephanie Wilson, who supported me in
tatting this and many other patterns, offering lots of advice along the way.
Her #80 thread tatting was a catalyst for my switching to tiny threads.
This is the kind of thing she tats:

Ben Fikkert Pattern
Can you can see why I was inspired?
: )
I don't even see the beads, but this is a work of perfection! Congratulations on finishing it, Fox. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that Ben Fikkert design. Stephanie did well with it.
Your lucky clover looks amazing. Well done!
ReplyDeleteStephanie's doily - very nice.
Ok, now I am totally jealous!! Your Lucky Clover doily is gorgeous!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Stephanie's work is beautiful too!! :)
You may indeed say so - because it is! - Charming. And I don't think it would have looked as lovely in size 20, I know that Ben Fikkert's designs are usually for tiny threads that don't translate well into thicker ones.
ReplyDeleteExquisite! I truly love it! I think you should frame it as the beautiful work of art it is!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely inspiring! And your work is inspired and beautiful. I like the openness of the doily.
ReplyDeleteIt's so beautiful!!! I didn't know Stephanie's work, thank you for the link.
ReplyDeleteI love the lucky clover, and did this in a large size I like this style with no picots showing I may try it again in tiny thread too. I too had to look for the beads, so beautiful tatting is nice in the dainty smaller sizes like 40 and up. I can see why you tat as well as you do with friends like Stephanie :) what fun, and does she have a blog I don't know about?
ReplyDeleteI added a link to her tatting. Took a while till I remembered where it was! : )) it is linked to her name.
DeleteThank you for such generous comments. I am so glad you like it too!
ReplyDeleteFox. : )
This si beautifully done, Fox! May it bring you lots of luck!
ReplyDeleteHow much thread did you use?
Thank you! Hard to tell how much thread as I had to cut out lots! Also I started with a used ball. I imagine it was about one ball of the DMC #89 that YOU sent me. : ))
DeleteI understand your inspiration - Stephanie is a terrific tatter, and almost always works in size 80. And so QUICK too!
ReplyDeleteHi there, CM! Hope you had fun - KNOW YOU DID - with Miss J.!
DeleteYou like the skinny stuff too? Yes, Stephanie is a wonderful inspiration.
