Of course, with a pattern like this, there's not really a whole lot new to say with each new motif added. I really like the negative spaces that are emerging between motifs, though. I think these secondary patterns are going to be even more interesting in this 3x3 doily than in the 2x2 version shown in the book.
Once I start the third row of motifs, it won't fit on the scanner bed anymore, so from now on it will be photos. Hopefully I'll get some good light when I need it.
You're making good progress.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! Great work!
ReplyDeleteThis is looking great.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first motif that I tatted from Jan Stawasz's book. I did not get further than one single motif. I planned to add more but the thread that I used for that single motif is running out. I will have to start over with another thread.
It looks wonderful!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, you get squares, and diamonds, and triangles, and rounds and stars… It's looking wonderful! I just realised I'm tatting the same as you. Not decided on what my final shape will be though… perhaps a rectangle? But it will look great as a square, I always love squares.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing the version with the more interesting decorative picots, though. I would have done that one if I were making a table-top doily; but since this is going on a pillow that will have my back rubbing on it all the time, I figured the short simple picots of this version would work better.
DeleteThis is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Looks like a fun project.
ReplyDeleteHey Squijum,
ReplyDeleteI can just see your Human’s face if you hid one or two of those pieces. What a lark!
Your Pal,
Gian
Looking good so far, I also like the way the pattern is shaping up.
