Ari's Magnificent Doily

I can't tell you how delighted I am that Ari has not only used my pattern Under An African Sky but has put her own twist on it. Ari used different shades of green in the trees and made a variety of animals! Considering that Ari had not done block tatting before, or interlocking rings, it's amazing. Ari says she learnt a lot while tatting the doily - she learnt it well. The thread Ari used is No.10 Italian Grignasco 2-ply cotton thread. Well done Ari, I think it's magnificent.
