Revelling In The Reveal

Joyous- that would be moi this evening! I am DONE, after almost 5 months. I began on March 11.

In case you missed it, this is Corona, by Ben Fikkert. I tatted it in #80 Lizbeth and it finishes at 22 inches.

Drumroll please..

    Wow a true master piece of tatting, and it's huge in size 80 how big would it have been in a lower number thread.
    Well done I am so glad you finished it.
    Love to Mr G. I bet he is relieved you have finished it, at least his ears can have a rest.
    What's your next project?

    When I first saw this doily in Sherry Townsend's blog years ago, I was totally in awe - both of the designer Ben Fikkart and of Sherry's gorgeous rendition. I couldn't begin to figure out how the design was put together! I enlarged a photo of it and put it in a special notebook under the title 'Olympics of Tatting', and would look at it in wonder!. I truly doubt that I ever will tat it, but it's been fascinating to follow along with those of you who took on the challenge!
    .
    I missed your post on the day of the Grand Reveal, but am so thrilled at your triumph! It's breathtaking to look at! What really blows me away is that you used size 80 thread. And the color combination is so perfect! Surely you will enter this in a Fair. They really should have gold medals in addition to ribbons, as it's truly an Olympic feat!
