AT Brooch Progress

Good morning!  Today promises to be another gorgeous early fall day.  I love these cooler temperatures!  After tatting a bit yesterday, I spent the majority of the day checking out our various outdoor spaces- picking up fallen limbs, making lists of repairs and needed items, filling bird feeders and playing with the dogs.
 
Here is the progress so far on what I call the Autumnal Transition brooch:
 
 
 Valdani Pearl Cotton in M80 ("Distant Grass") looks very nice with the AB stones of the brooch.  I plan to add more accents in M80 and S154 ("Antique Gold") Valdani Luxury Pearl Silk.  The pistachio-bronze freshwater pearls pictured above will more than likely be used as accents on the outer rim of the brooch.  What do you think do far?
 
Today I plan to work on the Autumnal Transitions brooch, fiddle with another tatting design idea and work on cleaning up my favorite outdoor tatting area in the woods.  Have a fabulous day & until tomorrow~
Happy Tatting!

  3. That pearl cotton is beautiful, so soft and dreamy. I've never used Valdani before but after seeing all the lovely things you make using it, I believe I'll be giving it a try!
