I think my attempt at tatting "Helen" from Twenty to Make Tatted Snowflakes by Jennifer Williams was doomed from the start.
I finally gave up trying to undo my beaded ring this morning. I wasted a lot of time yesterday, and when I did decide to give up I realized how foolish I was with my time. This is the point where I messed up yesterday. I guess it doesn't always pay to be stubborn!
I really shouldn't try to tat while talking on the phone. I'm not sure if I should try and rescue this snowflake or just drop it in the trash can.
After my disaster, I decided to relax with an Ice Drop... familiar territory, you know!
I did return to "Helen" after dinner, this time without the beads. I'm pretty sure this was my first time to tat lock chains. I think I need a little more practice! This new shuttle by Emiko Suenaga arrived today. It's available exclusively at Tatting Corner.
The back is just as pretty as the front!
I think your beaded and unbeaded Helens look wonderful!!!! :) I think you did a great job on your lock chains!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother great Ice Drop!! :)
Pretty shuttle! :)
I hope you can salvage it! I like the lock chain version, nice texture and the shape in the middle shows beautifully. That's a very pretty shuttle.
