It had to happen. There I was, joshing with Diane about having to bring out the scissors on a Jan Stawasz pattern. After all, I had also learned that lesson the hard way on The Monster. Now, of course I was wiser, more accustomed to the patterns of the Polish master. HA!
I had to cut the centre motif out after I attached it before adding a picot. Then I snipped off the wrong point when I began to correct the mistake. A mess. Now I have to re-tat the whole motif. Bah.
I kinda feel that that hand is wagging an admonishing finger at you, for not being more careful ?! ;-P .... Hats off to your patience, though ((Hugs))
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! : ))
DeleteOhhhh, I know it's disappointing, but I know you, and it's going to be gorgeous when finished!! :)
ReplyDeleteHow disappointing! And frustrating! I have to commend you on your perseverance on doing all these large projects.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the votes of confidence. I need them today! : )
ReplyDeleteOh Fox, I know how you want it to be perfect, I am sure Mr G is wagging his paw at you and saying not again mother.
ReplyDeleteI know you can do it, just take a deep breath and start again.
Love to Mr. G

I makes me sick that you had to do this and now I worry for myself!
ReplyDeleteCarollyn, I'm used to it! I tat too much late at night and when I'm too tired. Just don't do that and you'll be fine! : )
DeleteOne of the reasons I don't work in stone: you can't redo a mistake. The goal is the end product. If there is a lot of cutting, re-tatting and les mots mal, c'est la vie!
ReplyDeleteI, too, am amazed at the large projects you accomplish. And, all are beautiful.
Funny you say that: my dad used to carve stone and I was always fascinated how he could make those images appear and they would be flawless. : ). Better him than me!
DeleteI wish I could get paid for every picot I accidentally snipped. I think I could be a wealthy woman!
