No....21

Back to working in "Elegant Tatting Gems" book by Jon Yusoff.   This one is called 'adan'.  I used Lizbeth thread size 40 #167 called Jungle Greens.   I wish I would of used a different color this time, just more for contrast on here.

No.....20 (a, b, and c)


This is a pattern by Samantha Melnychuk 2000.   After I had already started the last row, I noticed that she had forgot to include a bead in the pattern.   No... I wasn't going to take it apart for that, but I will definitely make this pattern again.  I used Lizbeth size 20 #376.  There should be another bead at the base of the last ring.


I made this one again....this time I added the bead, but I forgot to make the ring...!!!   It looks different, and I like it, so it will just be pattern #2 for this one.  I'm still going to try and make it right yet...not while watching TV though....it looks like a finer thread, but it isn't...it's just my picture taking.




Motif #3...finally, this one is according to the pattern that I used...the last row has a ring, and another bead added.   Actually, I like them all....oh, there is another one that I did, but instead of starting with 8 rings, I used 9.  I gave it to a friend of mine, and she like it better because the beads in the center aren't as close to each other.  I guess maybe I should ask her to take a picture of it for me......

No.....18

Another motif designed by Jon Jusoff.   This one is called 'adiratna'.  This time I did it in size 40 Lizbeth thread #694. Needed a change,  and I like using a finer thread.   I also wanted to throw a different color in there for a change...

No. 16...


Just finished 'nilam' which is the name of another motif from Jon Yusoff's book "Elegant Tatting Gems".   I used Lizbeth size 20 Magenta, drk. #618.    This one finished measures 4.75 inches across.

I found this one easier to follow, and finish...

No. 15....


Finished another snowflake (motif), from Jon Yusoff's book called "Elegant Tatting Gems". This one is called 'mustika'. I did it in Lizbeth size 20 #637 called Country Grape, Med.

When doing these one really needs to look ahead at where the first join is going to be when coming to the end.   I had to take apart almost a whole section because the first join was at the very bottom  of the first section.
