For all sweet-tooth tatters, my serving of a neon-isc candy
treat. Hope you enjoy the slow release of flavors ;-p

Most of the details have already been accounted for in the previous post, including graphics of how the work progresses, a few tips, and my working notes. Keeping my promise of few words ....
Love the multiple patterns and shapes that jump out ….
This is the same pic, with swirling wheel effect, as the lead in previous post, against a black background.

If the graphics in my previous post scared anybody, Hamigyeong shares a simpler and smaller Little Butterflycoaster/doily with the pattern inked here. It is like a precursor to the larger and more complex Crinoline, both conforming to the same basic
principles.
I don’t particularly like too much open space in a doily,
preferring them a bit dense. And if the chains were shorter in this one, it
might have been that much simpler to work with. But I enjoyed Every Single
Moment of it. And I absolutely love the clean lines without picots !
How simple rings and chains can be meshed together ! Brilliant designing !!! Of course, one needs one’s wits around while working this. It is not your everyday relax-and-tat pattern, thus making it so much more special. It does, however, follow a logical sequence and stitch-count which becomes easier at the 3rd quadrant stage (for me).
I hadn’t realized that Hamigyeong (aka tattingweed) is the
author of the currently popular book “Tatting Lace With Your Life” ! Check out her beautiful work on Instagram . She also goes by the name of Fireweed Plains. This is her gorgeous working of the Crinoline doily that got me ‘shuttled’ immediately. (I didn’t have this link earlier). Of course the timing was just right - it has helped me further in my TWoT series.
Many many
thanks to Hamigyeong for sharing her brilliant design !
happy tatting :-)
That is awesome!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it, Sue :-)))
DeleteVery delicate doily!
ReplyDelete... and all in one pass, Marja !
DeleteLuscious! The colors remind me of the sour gummies and licorice candy that I love. My mouth is watering!
ReplyDeleteNow you're making me drool, Diane ;-P
DeleteI fell in love with the doily when I first saw it several weeks ago in her Instagram photos. You have truly done the design justice in two colors. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Eliz :-) Her tatting (and other work) is so lovely !!!
DeleteThanks, Jane :-D
ReplyDeleteBlack always makes it look like stained glass. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteSo true, Bernice ! Thanks :-)
DeleteVery pretty! Now I'm imagining the possibilities of designing specifically for a stained glass effect, hmmm...
