leaf me roundup 3

Pin It now!

I got caught up in other tasks and this post got delayed. Nevertheless, I am sure it is worth the wait! After sharing part 1 and part 2, let's get right down to admiring what part 3 showcases for our hungry eyes! To remind - this is the Leaf Me Endrucks Sep2024 game based on E15 Leaf Doodles #1,#2,#3.

21. Marja Jalo

In true fall colours, Marja shared her thoughts here - https://solmujenlumoissa.blogspot.com/2024/09/kapypitsiruskaa.html

She visualised this as a key ring - https://solmujenlumoissa.blogspot.com/2024/09/ruskakoru-kapypitsilehdista.html

But this parure really takes the cake! This gorgeous necklace uses 21 beaded E15 leaves and she also combined it with a pair of earrings. 

She was gracious enough to put together this collage especially for our group. The way she used beads can be seen more clearly and she explains it further in her blog post - https://solmujenlumoissa.blogspot.com/2024/09/ruskakoru-kapypitsilehdista.html

We didn't receive many models using 2 solid and contrasting colours and this makes a nice change.

The pink model has beads embedded in the chains!

"Four leaves on a walk" is how Michelle describes the above cluster.

And more leaves, this time on a tree that is shedding them!

 

Now these variations of the E15 leaf 2nd version are quite eye-catching! They would look good as tree ornaments and tatted icicles, I think.

23. Muskaan

This time I used metallic thread.

The lovely models and enthusiastic participation inspired me to pick up my shuttle and tat a 4th version based on my E15 Leaf Doodle #2!
It is a Laurel Leaf or a Birdie on a paperclip!  https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2024/09/leafy-birdie.html 

And this is my E15 Grape Leaf where I assembled the three versions of E15 Leaf Doodle and then joined them using an outlining chain - https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2024/10/a-3-in-1-leaf.html

24. Ninetta Caruso

Just look at the tiny size of these leaves!

And then she went on a tatting spree and assembled the foliage into a miniature Garden Croton for her miniature lace shop! https://ninettacaruso.blogspot.com/2025/01/the-lace-shop-of-my-dreams.html  

"This is only one of the 3 leaves proposed for the game, it is E15 Leaf Doodle #1. Thread is Lizbeth size 80, colour 136. It is 6cm high, from the "floor" to the highest tip." 

Ninetta continued to tat these leaves through the summer of 2025 and this time she gathered them into an E15 3D Anthurium. https://ninettacaruso.blogspot.com/2025/09/botanical-trend.html

We will be sharing the pattern and assemblage soon.

25. Norah O'Riordan 

"These are doodles 1 & 2 from #15. I’ve done needle tatting for a few years but have just graduated to shuttles. These small motifs are great practice pieces. Thanks for making the pattern available." 

It is so gratifying to not simply tat a motif but to also use it for learning and practice.

26. Paola Arnezf

"The flower (eastern ray) is made from the beautiful leaf. Made 2 sets of 6 petal One set with 6 rings on each side of the petal and the other set with 5 rings on each side. Then I assembled the flower by placing the smaller set inside and with a thread forming the flower. Pistols are rings of different colors. Greetings from Bolivia."

Not only is the flower superb, the entire display is fabulous!

So we now have 3 poinsettia versions from the same E15 leaf doodle pattern - Katie's in the previous post, Paola's above, and my prototype here https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2023/12/the-power-of-15.html

So aren't you amazed by the creative energy radiating through all these models made by enthusiastic hands?! Only 6 names in this list but can you even begin to count the number of leaves displayed?

And we are not done yet!!! Several more to show ....

Many many thanks to all our participants for their spectacular versions & creations !

... to be continued (part 4)
