Tatted Motif

Tatted Motif

c.2013 by Dianna Smith

Class offered at Lace Day 2013

thru L.A.C.E. Chapter in Illinois

I used Lizbeth 20, Col. 621.

 

"Tatted Motif"

I attended a tatting class in Illinois (June 8, 2013),

 their L.A.C.E. Day  (using yellow size 40 fiber).  Taught by Dianna Smith - it was a tatted motif design that could be "applied many ways".

I came across it this week - and like the ease of the motif and the delightful way Dianna connected them together in diamond shapes.   

Last night, I used Lizbeth size 20, Col. 621 (pink) + so far have four attached (center).   I think a 9 or 16 piece motif would be pretty --

Nanduti on "Hana-Ami" flower loom

 I think this is a nice loom.   Plus, artists can purchase them -- I'm  trying a Nanduti pattern from Clover Japan.   I need to add knots on the 2nd petal.   I am so used to a pillow or loom with pins or loom with notches.   The pegs can get in the way!

Their web site has patterns:
