It may look innocuous, but with rings on chains in two colours, motif 23 is possibly the most complicated pattern I've ever tatted! This is my second attempt. The first attempt is a monstrosity that will have to be binned:
One interesting point is that it illustrates the importance of
tension in tatting. I shortened the inner chains for the second attempt and there's a much better fit.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI finally found my book, so I could read along with you :) love the colors of the first one simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteChallenging, wow! I think because of my personality type or a v raging on compulsive behaviors, I've always snugged up chains as much as possible, maybe I shouldn't be...your result is a lovely, lovely piece.
ReplyDeleteI think your first one was a great attempt!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd the second one looks fabulous!!!! :)
That's lovely and beautifully tatted
ReplyDeleteSo very nice!
ReplyDeleteYour practice with the first one really paid off. The second one is beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteA good attempt the first time but you have cracked it the second time, the pattern looks very neat!
ReplyDeleteYour practice paid off ! And the 2 colours show off the pattern very nicely
