Motivational Motifs

In between the larger pieces, I have taken breaks. 
Otherwise I might be tempted to take up welding instead of thread manipulation!

Blomqvest and Persson, in Sulky Blendables, like #80
One of my favourite small motif designs ever.

#40 Karey Solomon HDT
Possibly from a design by Elsine Gan...
I really don't know whose this is! 
Please let me know so I can credit appropriately. 

I saw the design somewhere online, and tatted this according to my memory of what I saw. It might be different as my mind might have altered the original intention!

Cowboy?

Day 5 
T.I.A.S. 

You just never know what is rattling 
around in the mind of Jane Eborall.

It's A Cicada!

Well, then again, maybe not. Jane has us guessing over at T.I.A.S., day 4. Here's my brainwave:



Also, in yesterday's mail, a surprise package! In it a tiny wooden shuttle, from Liyarra, Down Under! It is made by Veronika, over in St. Petersburg. Lovely little thing- smooth and well made indeed. I am enjoying it. Thank you, Liyarra!


That is the eighth and last motif I am attaching to the JS piece ; then on to the penultimate row. Yessss.

Number Eight

One more motif to do, though this photo is behind my progress. Actually, this pattern has gone very quickly, I think. 


Just as well, as I am not enthralled! I'm not sure why, but for me this is a tedious tat - possibly because I am finding it so boring, and as I've already stated, am making lots of silly errors.. 

This one is much more fun - except for the wretched second-half of the ball of Lizbeth. Ghastly as usual. Hrmmmmph.
