Coffee and Cream

-

When I took this doily to show some people at the Computer Club last week, a person suggested that it be called 'Coffee and Cream' because of the colours.    As you can see I have now tatted another three rounds, but each round seems to be taking me ages to work.











It now measures 17" x 14" and I plan to continue so that it gets a little larger. Although of course the size is now governed by the amount of thread that is left in my stash.

    I was thinking the colors remind me of café au lait. It's very pretty.

    Fabulous! There's a lot of work in each round now, so give yourself a break, you're doing really well.

    Sad you're having a break from tatting as I so enjoy seeing your results. Make sure you have a blob of cream in your coffee!!

    Oh, my! This looks spectacular! I would be tempted to consider this piece 'finished' - the perfect size and perfect color combinations - and very pleasing to the eye. I have rarely seen rectangular pieces at Fairs (don't know why) and I believe this would be a winner! It's a wonderful example of classic tatted lace!

    I'm always one to suggest taking a break and giving wrists a well deserved rest!

    Beautiful work. Great color scheme. Would that be an antimacassar?

Which One?

As I said in my last post I had another idea for a design and this one is very seasonal, and yes as Jane McLellan said there is a huge gap between the original idea and the final product, but I don't find that gap fun at all!  I have worked on this particular idea all week between preparing for Holy Week and children's activities, and also having a massive Spring clean in certain areas of the house.  I even spent hours removing wood dust off the freezer washing machine and surrounding areas in the garage, when 'Im in the garage was out, you have no idea what mess he makes in there to produce shuttles! So the result is these two button eggs, well I hope you recognise them as such!  I showed the first one to several people but did not say what it was supposed to be and they all said it was a pendant.  I was rather deflated at that, but how would they know what I was trying to design?  I then came up with the second button egg.  So which one should I run with?...
