I guess I'm on a bookmark binge! This is another bookmark by Kersti Anear in Altin Basak #3002, size 50. The tatting is about 6" long. I think I would like this one better in a solid color, the way Kersti tatted it. I did manage to unload another shuttle, though!
Very pretty! Did you join the bookmark exchange on InTatters? I thought I did, but I guess you had to fill out some form...which I didn't do...oops!
ReplyDeleteNice job. I'm making them too, I did join the bookmark exchange on InTatters. I haven't done one yet that I'm that happy with - but you should be happy with this one! Looks good.
ReplyDeletePretty, but yes, I think solid colour(s) will look nicer. Kersti has some very nice bookmark designs which I adore too.
ReplyDeleteI just love doing her bookmarks. My favourite is Sweetheart. Very fast to do.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteIn my research I find lovely snippets of tatting created in years past sometimes centuries. Over time they become frail or discoloured but they never loose their beauty.

I think it would look much better in a solid colour too. Some patterns are just not suited to varig threads.
ReplyDeleteI like this bookmark! I remember it from sometime ago. Kersti had some really nice bookmarks on her site at that time.
ReplyDeleteI am making bookmarks too. I just posted two of my favorite that I like to give to children.
Have a great day!
The bookmark's cool and the color is inspiring... :-) lovely!
