Another Variation

Winter Blossoms
Good afternoon, dear readers!
 
I had a productive time in the tatting chair last night whilst watching Amish Mafia on the Discovery Channel.  After tatting my mom's birthday pendant, I kept having visions of an adaptation.  So, I picked up a spool of Sulky Blendables 12 wt. quilting cotton in color 4025 "Hydrangea", added some silver lined lilac rocailles and cream pearl Ornella seed beads and tatted this variation:
 
 
I'm not finished with it yet, as there are a couple more rounds in my head that I need to tat.  So... what do you think?  I think this makes a nice Winter Blossom motif 3 (or is it 4).
 
Well, I have lots of errands to take care of this afternoon.  Have a great day & until tomorrow~
Happy Tatting!

  1. Balanced, pretty and I love the colors! Do you just start tatting or draw some first?

    1. This design was based on the foundation that I used for my Mom's pendant. Sometimes I will sketch out a general idea, but I mostly form images in my head & tat from there. Scary, isn't it?!?

  2. Beautiful! Love, love, love the color. I will have to see about getting some thread in that color.

    1. Dawna, I enjoy tatting with the Sulky Blendables thread. Especially the 12 wt. It is heavier than the usual 40 or 50 wt. quilting cotton.
