Make Many Merrily. "Chinoise" is French for "Chinese", and "Chinoiserie" basically means "Chinese stuff" or "Chinese-looking stuff". Well, I don't know about that, but it's definitely a beautiful motif that is very satisfying to tat. Here's one square of it...

I don't know why I can't manage to lay things on the scanner straight. Don't you just love the way these motifs join together?
Very pretty! I especially like the secondary pattern when the motifs are put together.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is very pretty. I can't seem to get a straight scan either.
ReplyDeleteOh, definitely. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteThey are stunning. Love the blues.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the 2 colors look in that motif!! :)
ReplyDeletevery nice. I would love to see pictures of the full sets. I think they must look awesome together.
ReplyDeleteJeanne, you can see the first piece in the set in the previous post, "Masquerade". I have started tatting the next one and will show it soon. There will be four total in the set, and I promise to show them all together.
ReplyDeleteLove the color and the negative space with the multiple motifs!
