Hi,
Yes poker tatting, never heard of it, neither had I but in these lock down times anything is possible. I was dealt a hand of poker, no I don't play poker but each card had an element on to which you then design a piece of tatting.
Well this is what I came up with, it was an adventure, there are 11 chains, and 13 Josephine rings, the middle I used the card with the one ring and the three rings put together, and the ? card was the spiral chain to hang the heart. I made the butterfly in the middle and as I tatted the chains the butterfly became 3d and stands up on its own. It was not planned just happen, which I do like.
I have called this pattern Poker butterfly heart, and I used Lizbeth thread no 20 Juicy watermelon. I am writing up the pattern which I will put on my pattern blog, and will let you know when its on there. Here is a link to the Virtual Poker run game,
Margaret
