As you can see, the split rings of round 5 complete an oval of rings made in round 6; if the rings and split rings are tatted in the same color, it gives the illusion of being all one round.
I'm very happy with the way this is turning out. So far, it's about 3 3/4 inches (9.5 cm) in diameter, with two rounds left to go. Very small indeed for a doily, and a bit large for a motif, but it doesn't matter since it's going to be framed.
To see this doily in a much bolder color selection, head over to Fox's blog. She's tatted up to this point in a variety of pinks and greens, instead of just the two colors, and it looks great! I really hope she'll finish it despite the setback.
Oh, yes, this is pretty! Very different from mine and you are right... that row is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI left you a long comment on tat-ology in response to yours. I have begun the fix. : ))

Looking beautiful, love the colours you have used.

Very nice!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun to see the same piece tatted in different colors? Both you and Fox have chosen some beautiful color combinations.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference a colour makes! It wasn't until the last photo that I realised that it is the same pattern as the one Fox is doing. WOW

Yes it's true how color plays with your eyes to seem to change the pattern.
