Finished Flower Pot

Flower Pot II from Tatted Treasures by Jan Stawasz. When I sew it down, I will of course make sure the flowers are properly spread out and aligned; that one second from the left just wouldn't go where I wanted it on the scanner bed.

The stems are tatted in Lizbeth color 167 Jungle Greens. For the other color numbers, see this post and this one.

The first flower pot fit nicely on a 5x7 inch card. This one is a little bigger. A 6x8 inch card would be perfect, but the manufacturer doesn't seem to make one. I could cut the 8x10 inch card down, or I could use it whole and add a small butterfly or two to prevent there being a ridiculous amount of white space. I think I'll go with the latter option.

Just as I was getting ready to post this, I noticed that day 3 of the TIAS is up.

It looks like I still made my picots a little too long, even after I changed the orientation of the gauge. Unless it's supposed to be cupped, of course.

 At this point, it still looks like a flower, but it won't for long. The next section will not be symmetrical, since there are joining picots on only the last three chains of this round. As to what it is, I still have no idea.
