This dragonfly is very much simpler than the beaded one. I like it though. I like the texture that inverted tatting gives to the wings. It's my pattern, which you can find
here or on the side bar. Usha suggested that I use bigger beads for the eyes, so you can see the green and red ones are a bit more bug-eyed than the others.
They're great and the bigger beads make them look even more like dragonflies to me!
ReplyDeleteSo cute ! The larger beads Do make a realistic difference :--)
ReplyDeleteI like the diaphanous effect of inverted tatting .
Gorgeous pattern and beautiful dragonflies
ReplyDeleteMargaret
Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI do like inverted tatting ever since Martha Ess taught it at tat days so must have a go at your pattern, all the dragonflys look great especially the big eyed ones!
ReplyDeleteI missed this post and do so love these too! Making little bugs is harder that it looks I think, you have this down pat! I really like the eyes.
ReplyDeleteGreat dragonflies!! :)
ReplyDeleteJane.. So many bugs? All of them are cute.
ReplyDeleteI think I prefer to make them with stiffer wings -- long ones.. I love the green ones mooooooooooooore. :-)
