multiply me roundup 1

Pin It now!

 And even as more models turn in, here is the roundup of our October game - Multiply Me Endrucks. You can read about it here - https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2023/10/rabbits-multiply.html. The rabbits could've been way more procreative, multiplied some more, but that's just our greed speaking, LOL. As always, new versions, tweaks, and patterns have been generated. Read along ....

Iris Pendant adapted from the E37 motif by Ninetta Caruso - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uFUpCDxnvyD7JdqLUjPPhviq6BtwvhD1/view

This time I am presenting the collection starting with tatters who sent in the most motifs to the least. While this wasn't a competition, we have a clear hare that overtook many tortoises (just kidding, ladies!) - who else but the Master Multiplier, Anna Tedesco! 

1. Anna Tedesco - 16 + 4   Now here's a lady who loves to tat multiples of almost any and every pattern! 

Using Ninetta's Iris Pendant adaptation, she sewed 3 complete motifs on an ornament, with one rosette at the top.

Using larger crystal beads to connect motifs.

And something similar was followed for two more ornaments below -

6 complete motifs using transparent white beads surround one ball, while 4 motifs and 2 rosettes with amber beads surround the other ornament. Anna is all set to decorate her tree!

UPDATE Nov 17, 2023; And we received a quartet of stars and snowflakes from Anna, taking her total to 20! 

2. Paola Emilia Rotuletti - 8

Paola is also a dedicated player who can belt out multiples. She had won our Dec2022 game!

One single motif.

A mat with 4 motifs.

And 5-point adaptation for Stars! This motif is quite versatile as you will see ahead ....

3. Jiamrat Supapol - 5 + 1   Jiamrat's shuttle moves fast, too!

She starts off with two regular motifs, but inverting the colours ....

... then a button adaptation where she replaced the innermost rounds with the button.

This made a nice brooch.

Her 4th motif has thrown rings on the last round...

...and she used this on her stole pin

Now here's an example reflecting her current phase of working with rings/cabones. Such a beautiful 9-point adaptation with thrown dimpled rings between each arm for a fuller look.

UPDATE Nov 17, 2023: And Jiamrat continued to let her shuttles fly for a 6th model for a button flower! 

4. Lyn Clements - 5   also belted out five motifs (they might be 4, but I'm not asking, LOL).

One 2-coloured single motif, 

and a mat with inverted colours.

5. Meenakshi (Muskaan) Jain - 4

Now if I counted all my motifs since Nov 2020, I'd be having a bit of a snooze with 21 motifs! However, that'd be total cheating.

I allowed myself only a wee bit of cheating. The above 3 motifs were the only ones I had left from before that hadn't been joined/extended. So I used them to make jewellery, sewing on beads, crystals, pearls, findings. (https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2023/10/rabbits-multiply.html)

And to assuage all guilt, I tatted this 6-point flower flake adaptation almost from scratch. (https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2023/10/wanna-multiply.html).

6. Ninetta Caruso - 4  my ever-ready partner in crime, she asked if I wanted a version in metallic threads and beads while we were preparing the game. I'd be daft to say no!

Notice how her bead placement pushes the rosette rounds apart creating a web-like effect, and also makes the motif large than normal. 

And then, using the same bead placement, but without truncating two arms, she tatted this lovely set of earrings; a tertiary adaptation. I like the long beaded picot which can replace a teardrop.

Ninetta writes - "Thread is metallic Sanbest 3 strands, colour numbers are 130 and 124. Beads are rocailles 15/0."

Miniature is her trademark! Her 4th motif is size 80 ready for the pumpkin patch!

6 tatters and 42 motifs seen in this post. In my next post the remaining models will be presented. And you might be in for a surprise or two with more adaptations and applications. 

... to be continued

Many many thanks to all participants - let the joy of tatting multiply manifold!
