Blogs Brimming with Beauty
Werner has added a snowflake motif from Wally's Tat-Along site
Lynda has a gorgeous variegated leaf motif in progress. Clyde took a breather from his monumental tablecloth, to tat a heart motif for the Ontario Fringe Element Tatters Group. Mark has completed the face for his Geisha. A motif is a recurring theme, so that means there needs to be more than one Mark... Terry was trying for a 6 pointed snowflake using Bina Madden’s Celtic Picot when she created this 5 pointed star. The pattern is included on her blog. Memé started a spiral motif from a Japanese publication and accidentally refilled her shuttle with a slightly different colour thread. Interesting effect, it looks like half of the motif is in shadow. Donna B has finished the last of her UFOs and posted her first Challenge motif, the “Whirligig” from A Pattern Book of Tatting, done in basic black. EeKoon has posted her first motif and she just learned to tat 2 weeks ago! Congratulations EeKoon, tatters who have been tatting much longer than that haven't taken the plunge yet and EeKoon's work is very consistent for a beginner.
One other interesting note, a counter has been added to the Challenge page.
Sharon, Thanks for all your hard work in keeping up the posts for the 25 motif challenge. It looks like it is becomming a lot of work. Clyde.
