Starting the day off right

I woke up early this morning, and before breakfast I had finished my morning chores. So, I sat down to tat my ornament of the day.

Once that was accomplished, I perused another French tatting book: Frivolity to the shuttles by Edwiga, Renaudin, 2012. I remember that I purchased this book because of the layered tatting techniques presented. I know I tried the technique, but it is something I will need to revisit.

In an effort to use thread already on shuttles, I chose a simple motif from page 121 of the book. I miscalculated and did not have enough thread to finish the last round. This was a very simple motif, and I think I will tat it in some color other than black!
