Oh yes, it was really funny to make it! Firstly I didn't have any idea of making a pattern. I bought some new thread recently and tried to find some pattern with big rings - although I like Iris threads, it is quite difficult to tat a big ring with them, and picots sometimes don't look neatly. However I didn't find anything that I would like. So I tried to make a little pattern with big ring, something like a petal. Below there are all my attempts: violet and green was the first one, then green and pink petal. I liked the lat one and tried to tat a 6-petal flower. On the third petal I understood that I chose the wrong way of connection. So, the next attempt (the first photo) was successful, although the flower appeared to have 5 petals instead of 6!
Well, now I'm going to tat some flowers with different threads and make a normal pattern description. And name it, of course! I will be very grateful if somebody advises me what program to use for drawing the diagram!
GREAT MOTIF. i love the finished motif.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteIt's very pretty! It resembles a Hibiscus slightly, just needs the long stamens coming out from the center :o)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jess! Now i know how to call this motif! ))
DeleteThis is lovely indeed! I particularly like the green and pink version. I also love your tatting/programming parallels. So nice to "meet" you! Welcome to the on-line tatting community!
