Star Dahlia by Anna Barzyk

Clover by Mariya Darydova
Hexagons always appeal to me - be it in any art or craft form. Tatted snowflakes are aplenty, but the focus is on tips/points with 'invisible' or inferred sides.
Addionally, I love when chains are used to outline previous elements, highlighting aspects with width.
No wonder this pattern was such a pleasure to tat - a clear-sided, textured, yet elegant pattern.
I follow Anna's blog and love her beautiful tatting and other projects. She shared this pattern here recently. I chose a lighter outline to represent the flower in nature.
Clover is a cleverly designed pattern. Joining to the vsp at beginning of chain in each leaflet creates a charming center which is evident in the left leaf and much more in Marya's model. http://mariyas-tatting.blogspot.com/p/free-patterns.html
The left leaf follows her pattern verbatim, split chain and all.
The right one, tatted first, is a bit of a lazy tatting attempt. Here, I worked all 4 leaflets completely, instead of a split chain, and then tatted the chain stem.
I'll be back with something more on clovers soon....
Many thanks to Anna and Mariya
for sharing their pretty patterns.
I hope you, too, enjoy tatting these as much as I did
Those are awesome!!! :)
ReplyDeleteBoth lovely patterns. I like the look created by 'double chains'. Emphasised by your colour choices.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful and I love making flowers out of snowflakes its so supersizing when you add colors to them and you just go right into spring :) Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteBoth are very pretty patterns! I especially like the yellow one. Your chains are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLooking good! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Sue, Jane, Carollyn, Margaret, & Grace :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, some patterns just catch your eye, and you want to tat them ! I'm waiting for the clovers to bring me some luck ;-P
Beautiful yellow and white together, lovely pattern off to look at your link to her page,
ReplyDeleteWill be putting this pattern on my to do list
Lovely tatting as always! I also like the effect created when outlining a motif with a chain, usually a different colour. It really emphasizes it. The dahlia would make a nice coaster :)
ReplyDeletePiękna wersja! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret, Lavington, and Anna :-)
ReplyDeleteReal flower pics helped me choose the lighter outlines. Nature always inspires !
Yes, Lavi, it makes a lovely coaster. In size 20 it measures 3" acoss and 3.5" between tips It would work well with larger thread, too .
Piękne prace. Gratuluję.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Gretel :-)
