Yes, it's July, but the delay in blogging is from my end. It completely slipped my mind to share this lovely January Snowflake creation by Sally Biggers with you here. Never too late ... or should I say a bit early, LOL.
We've had a few tatters who have combined or rearranged parts from two of Endrucks' patterns to create a hybrid design. This model is one such - a combo of E34 and E43. Sally set out with the specific dual aims of combining two motifs/patterns and creating a six-sided snowflake.
E34, from which the center is adapted, is actually an 8-repeat pattern. It was reworked and shared by Marina Mad Jar tatting - https://drive.google.com/file/d/11iVy2KdXkEJKW_4Hc_E4G4P29RuD1b9O/view
For the radiating arms, she chose E43 which was reworked and shared by Maria Grazia and Ninetta Caruso - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JRu7OggaSna0eXDRA2P18dRu6uE4-1J7/view
The original patterns are from Eleonore Endrucks' 1920 book, ‘Die Schiffchen-Spitszen’ which has been trsnslated and reworked in the Endrucks 1920 Project.
It was while tatting this E43 (my 3D flower adaptation) for the pattern of the month game, that my memory neurons finally connected and nudged me into blogging.
Sally has clearly succeeded! Her use of different threads, including metallic, gives a beautiful finish. She explains her process in more detail in the pdf and graciously shares her pattern...

While this is definitely on my to-tat list, Ninetta beat me to it! Following is her version which she tatted in April.
Hope you enjoy this pattern and let us know about it. UPDATE: I just found Sally's blog and you can read about this snowflake here - https://myartbarn.blogspot.com/2024/02/havent-created-post-here-in-quite-while.html

DeleteMany thanks to both of you MuskaanM and Ninetta for reviewing the pattern for errors, helping me correct them and following up with adding this pattern to the Endrucks 1920 Project! Your kindnesses go beyond my expectations! This project is not only fun but challenging for us tatters. I hope to continue in the challenge in August when it comes up on the Facebook group! Meanwhile, Happy January in July!
ReplyDeleteIt is a pleasure collaborating with you, especially when it comes to 'new' patterns, Sally! And we enjoy your participation whenever it is possible. Thank you once again for this beautiful pattern 😍😍😍
DeleteIt’s beautiful. Perfect for the top of the tree, at any time of the year.
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea, Jane! It would certainly capture the eye. 🌟⭐🌟 And now I am visualizing it within a bangle as a dream catcher.
