TIAS 2023: Day 14

We have an alien!  Is this the coolest E.T. you ever tatted?     During the entire tatting game, I had a few ideas what we would be creating --- but an Alien!!!   Love it Jane : )      I used a blue fiber - I think it looks 'space - ish'.    Oh -- and MINUS the Catherine Wheel Joins.    That I could use more practice with -- I used lock joins.   [for non-tatting, the Catherine Wheel creates a smoother tatted line].   And, sigh, need to (im)patiently wait for next year's game ....   Thank you Jane Eborall for hosting.    Was a BLAST to tat.


I am tatted the alien with Lizbeth, Size 20, Color 651

Please visit the blogs to view all of the tatted Aliens - I'm gobsmacked by the variety of colors the tatters used.

 This was my 'practice piece'.    I think this alien looks really unusual with the color fiber I was using.  

I started a practice piece when I was practicing Catherine Wheel joins vs. Lock joins. Previous Post , link HERE.  While I did get the hang of Catherine Wheel joins - it was just taking a huge amount of time for me to make them.   I looked at instructions and videos.   Which makes it look so easy.   Maybe with more practice!!!   [Plus, sew in the ends].
