Hi,
This is my Taurus the Bull, I was asked to tat a Bull, well after looking for a pattern and not been able to find one, I designed my own.
Well this is him, the picture was taken before I had pressed him and the cotton left was used to attach him to a card, which is at the bottom of the post.
Here is he in close up, I used Lizbeth thread Gold and white no 20, with two black beads for the eyes, I used some threads for the tail I tried some long picots but it did not look right so I just attached the threads with a loop, on a very small picot.
I have not written up the pattern yet although its written in rough and I will be putting the pattern in my esty store when its ready.
The card I used a backing paper that I also used for the tree card I did a couple of weeks ago for the Sunday CD Challenge Trees and Shrubs. I sewed Taurus on a pale green card although in the picture it looks blue but it was pale green and pale green spot paper, the edging was green/gold peel offs to finish off the card.
I hope you like him, I am pleased with him, it took quite a few hours to design him, the front legs could have been a little straighter but I think hes got a cheeky face. I hope they like the card, I did enjoy designing him, one thing I can say he was all my own work, if you think there is any part of him that's from another pattern, all I can say he came from my brain.
Until we meet again in blog land.
Take Care
Hugs
Margaret
