Hi,
Wally Saso has a new book out called A Party of Tatting Designs. I have been doing some test tatting for you, there are some lovely motif patterns.
Here is the link to buy the book either digitally or as a book.
These are the motifs I did for Wally with shuttle tatting.
Motif 2012, I used Lizbeth thread Rainbow Taffy no 20
Motif 2007. I used Lizbeth thread Juicy Watermelon no 20. This motif is one that if you want to practice josephine rings and split rings, this will certainly give you a lot of practice.
Motif 2016. I used Lizbeth Thread Juicy Watermelon no 20
Motif 2003 I used Lizbeth thread Rainbow Taffy no 20, The third round is tricky and not a beginners motif, with the three little rings at the end of a split chain.
Bonbon without the wrapper. I used Lizbeth thread Christmas thread no 20
This is an interesting book of different motifs, that can be tatted either by shuttle or needle.
I did enjoy test tatting for Wally, unfortunately these were done before I injured my hand and its the first opportunity to post them, Thank you Wally for giving me the test tatting.

Good job !!! I love the first meandering one. I've tatted her 2016 Birthday motif, experimenting with hues of maroon. The last one would look pretty as jewellery.
ReplyDeleteWow, interesting motifs, test tatting must’ve been fun.

I love that book! I guess I should get tatting motifs from it to show how much I love it! I hope your hand is healing.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely and your tatting lots and very beautiful work! I am sure she will sell plenty of books!
ReplyDeleteYou always amaze me with your beautiful work Margaret, these are simply stunning and so clever.
ReplyDeleteReally sorry to read about your hand, I have been lax of late and now catching up, what with one thing and another. Do hope your on the mend by now.xx
