Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! I finished Round VI (from Tatted Treasures by Jan Stawasz) last night, and I love the way this doily is looking! I'm so happy with Latte Foam (size 20 Lizbeth #168) for this project. It may be difficult to see in the picture, but the thread looks tea-dyed, something I have never tried and never plan on trying. Why should I when this beautiful thread is available?
Margaret asked for a close-up of Grandfather Clock, so...
front,
back,
one side,
and the other. Carol aka Battatter has told me I can do this. I'm a bit skeptical. I don't think I have the imagination for it, but some day I'll probably get the urge to try, then look out!
The doily is stunning! Wow!
ReplyDeleteAre those clunies at the base of the clock?
Beautiful! I wish I could tat! Love Grandfather clock. I remember Captain Kangaroo!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent! Both the doily and the tatted clock, which recalls fond memories of Captain Kangaroo each time I look upon it.
ReplyDeleteYour doily from Jan's book is stunning. Did you tat it using Jan's way of tatting or the regular conventional way? Love that Grandfather Clock. You are one lucky gal!
ReplyDeleteSo what is your next project?

ReplyDeletebeautiful doily.
ReplyDeleteand the clock is unique. I remember Grandfather Clock, Captain Kangaroo, Mr Green Jeans, Mr Moose with the dropping ping pong balls, and all the other characters. That was a good show for kids.
You do Jan's design very proud! It looks amazing!

Congratulations, your doily is stunning! Such great work. I like the clock - yeah, you have to have a lot of imagination to come up with things like that, Batatter's work is really original.
ReplyDeleteYour doily is an awesome treasure already!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThe doily looks great, and enlarging it really shows the 'tea-dyed' effect of the thread! Lovely work, as usual! (Still don't know where you find the time!)
ReplyDeleteSuch a clever clock from Battatter! She is SO creative!
That doily is amazing, I hope to get the book soon it's now at the top of my wish list, Next time I order thread I am going to include that one,
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing the grandfather clock, I would love to try and make it,.
Margaret
Your doily is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh Diane that doily is amazing!! You've actually inspired me to buy the book and give it a try!
ReplyDelete"You can do eet!" (no really!)
ReplyDeleteThe clock is basic rings, chains, and block tatting at the bottom... stiffened onto a form I made from cardboard.
And, GREAT job on the doily! It looks terrific. Though I don't normally make doilies myself, I may have to get some of that 'tea dyed' thread.. and just the right pattern.
That clock is fantastic! I remember Captain Kangaroo, too.
ReplyDeleteYou know it's special when you first see something and immediately go "ooh" out loud. This was an "ooh" moment. Your doily is stunning! Diane, I've had lots of "ooh" moments here at your blog!!!...Grandfather Clock is just the cutest! xo
