Ninetta has announced our new game for the month of October however I couldn't post my second submission for September in time even though I finished tatting it on the night of 30th Sep ;-D
What can I say! When I have multiples of any motif I enjoy rearranging them to see what shapes emerge. I've already shown several such for the E15 Leaf Doodle #1. This motif is so adaptable that it boggles my mind. (All links related to E15 leaves are at the end of this post)
TIP: In Victorian sets, make the picot between 1st half-stitch set and 2nd half-stitch set for it to face outward. And a slightly longer picot.
I was simply winging it and have no stitch count. There is a very short split chain at the base to center the stem. I've left a few inches of tails for future addition.
Tatting didn't take long as expected, but unfortunately I couldn't include the intended bunch of grapes in time. Task for future, hopefully within this month.
If you look closely you will also see a bit of a mess in the center. No sweat! In nature perhaps a little birdie or a caterpillar shredded a portion and that's what it is ;-D
I think this looks better in real than in the pics - hubby identified it immediately as a grape leaf - and I could've done a better job. Nevertheless the joy counts for a great deal! Call it Leaf Relief!!!

I think it looks terrific and I like the darker edging. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the darker edging looks fine, Sue, thanks 🍃
DeleteSo clever! I also like the darker edging.
ReplyDeleteIts certainly a relief, Jane, thanks 🍃
DeleteWow, it's beautiful 🤩 Love your idea and how you made it, using all 3 patterns! Absolutely, leaves are not all the same colour and the darker edging is great. Hat off! And if you look closely the caterpillar is still there 🤣
ReplyDeleteLOL, your eyesight is much sharper than mine, Nin, to see the caterpillar 😁 Glad you like it 🍃
DeleteLeaf Relief it is! Gorgeous! The tatted Maple leaf was always my favorite until now! What a lovely specimen of a leaf you created, Muskaan! Yes, the catepillar munched a bit...I love it! So natural! I want to put it between waxed paper and iron it to keep it forever! Anita Barry
ReplyDeleteWow, love the way you have described it, Anita 🍀🍀🍀 Yes, I do remember the days of placing a leaf or flower between the pages of a book! Was it in this very lifetime 😁
DeleteI love how you explained your process of putting pieces together on paper, outlined them, photographed, then tatted an image checking where to join and so on. Great idea to texture with Victorian Sets. Anita Barry
ReplyDeleteThe image and outline helped a lot, Anita. 💕
DeletePodoba mi się ten liść winogrona. :)
ReplyDeleteSprytnie to zrobiłaś, ale wiemy, że czasami pomysł nie przychodzi, a czasami pomysł goni pomysł i powstaje coś wspaniałego. :)
Pozdrawiam ciepło
Spoken like a true designer and creator, thanks splocik 😍
DeleteThat looks very good and I also recognised it as a grape vine leaf. :) I like the individual components thelselves, very natural looking leaves.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lavinia, the green helps, too doesn't it 😁🍀
DeleteTo me its perfect and yes it does look like a grape leaf, I like the way you put the leaves together.
