#tagmeEndrucks - Endrucks Angel and Bell pattern by Margaret Davies

Previously I have presented the roundups in ascending alphabetical order. This time let's reverse the order to give full justice to everybody. These are previous posts on this game we played in November in our Endrucks 1920 Project group -

and the pattern - https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2022/12/heart-angel-bell-play-tag.html

1. Winnie Ho tatted 4 bells and in her Jingle Bell version she incorporated her love of embroidery in a tatted frame. This bell sold in her craft show to rave review by her buyer.

Notice the tiny tatted bows on the 2 top bells.

2. Vani Kattoju tatted her angel in this cheerful colourway. 

3. Stella Marina tatted her glittery angel in silver metallic.

4. Silvana Buonvino made this two-coloured bell.

5. Sharada Rajan ran out of thread in the purple angel, but persevered and completed it later. She worked a 2nd in Lizbeth size 80

6. Ruth Palsson tatted 2 angels, the 2nd with beads.

7. Roberta Porati worked a two-tone angel

8. Renata Niemczyk (Renulek) couldn't resist the call of the bell and recently shared her bell.

9. Reiko Akamatsu, ever resourceful, tatted several angels, joining them on the go. 

She had to cut off her first attempt at the 3rd angel due to an error, but persevered to create this beautiful coaster/doily. I especially love the central motif with concentric chains!

10. Pina Barone tatted a bell and flipped it over for an angel. The beautiful halo appears to be tatted as well.

to be continued .....

This is the first roundup for this event. Plenty more to be shared!

Many many many thanks for playing along so enthusiastically!

My PIC (partner in crime), Ninetta introduces this post in her beautiful imagery –

“What does creativity mean? If you try to answer just using words, it's a difficult question. We need help from images and examples. Creativity is like a tiny round stone in the highest mountain, at the edge of the cliff, when a puff of breeze would be enough to change its destiny. Our Sept game #extractmeEndrucks has been that puff. Naively, Muskaan and I thought that the game would have remained in the 2D space, just to decorate cards! One more time, our wonderful tatters have taken us in the amazing multifaceted world of creativity, and surprised us with a bunch of beautiful tatted motifs.
Thank you very much, dear tatters, for your creativity!
Happy Endrucks' tatting!”

If you remember, our FB group Sep/Oct game was about extracting one or more motifs from Endrucks' pattern #25 (https://drive.google.com/file/d/19rR3fDG_ZHO9imf-EuPQO9dSd531UZl4/view), tatting and arranging them on a card. https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2022/09/game-of-extraction.html Following are the models and samplers/in-progress pics sent in. Let me start with the extractions that have patterns (alphabetically, not chronologically) - 

1. Daniela Galli adapted the same motif to create not just a 3D pumpkin but also the leaves.

2. Julie Myers also used the same motif but added layers around it for a 2D pumpkin.

3. Anna Bonelli worked her magic for a fairy door applique on denim.

4. Antonia Lai has started an edging with a much adapted 'partial' motif. Just these 2 repeats could  work well as dog or cat ears or adorned on an infant's headband.

5. Jiamrat Supapol extracted motifs from 2 different patterns 9 the pea motif in 2 colours from #25, and the happy hands motif from #1) and combined them beautifully for her applique. 

6. Margaret Davies worked 4 pea motifs into butterfly wings, adding a head.

7. Margaret Davies is a master card-maker and adorned her card with a bouquet of several extracted motifs. [https://margaretsdesignercards.blogspot.com/]

8. Muskaan adapted the pea motif into palm fronds and added a trunk with another extracted motif. A 3rd motif acts as the sun. This is a WIP. 

9. Ninetta Caruso used the motif as a leaf to enhance her flower card. [https://ninettacaruso.blogspot.com/]

10. Ninetta Caruso extracted another motif for a 2nd card. Now is this painter painting a large flower or is it a colour palette? 

11. Nona Litzelman amazed us with this clever arrangement of her adapted extractions! 

12. Pam Hemenway needle tatted Julie's pumpkin with a slight tweaking of stitch counts. 

13. Paola Emilia Rotuletti created this elegant flower bush for her card. 

14. Paola Emilia Rotuletti quickly tatted up Daniela's pumpkin and served it on a porcelain tray.

15.  Winnie Ho worked 2 pairs of beautiful earrings using the pea motif, inspired by the palm fronds and Stephanie W's comment that the pea motif could be used to create an entire harvest basket. (https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2022/09/idea-in-progress.html) 

The pea motif appears to be the single most favourite motif among our participants. Yet it has been used with such clever diversity.

Our current game for November, #tagmeEndrucks, is well underway with lots of models already posted. We will need several roundup posts to showcase them all ;-D

A simple thanks seems so inadequate, yet it is sincere and heartfelt. 

Many many thanks to all our participants for your beautiful work and creativity

not just an edging

Oooo là là

This stunning necklace is tatted by Ninetta Caruso for our Endrucks 1920 Project. An adaptation of Endrucks' 1st pattern!

But let me get the nitty gritty out of the way first, some of which has already been shared.

Edging pattern #1 from the book German book ‘Die Schiffchen-Spitzen’,1920, by Frau Eleonore Endrucks-Leichtenstern. The pdf shared earlier is now updated with a lot of cleaning up and additions. 

Above we have a straight edging, a circular edging, playing with 2-colours, and with a modified pathway for mirror imaging.

Happy Hands pdf: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IRlJ7bnx-c27PYtgXymx_ps-KL2pen_m/view 

This collage shows some of the several paths ranging from 

1. the simpler but unsymmetrical original. However, it starts with a chain and moves from right to left;

2. the modified symmetrical adaptation which starts with a ring. This central ring is worked as a thrown ring from 2nd motif onwards (hence different colour) and the edging moves from left to right;

3. playing with some colour positions using Reposition Methods, and where the 1st motif is worked with 2 small side rings and each subsequent motif with only the right side ring to be made. Ninetta finds that this is easier than making the left ring in repeats.

4. (see square edging below) 2 small rings on each motif also makes it easier to keep the threads in place. 

These are but a few options and each tatter can follow their own path. 

This is Antonia Lai's adaptation of the edging as well as the addition of a corner, giving us a nice square or rectangular frame. - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fsiET9ZJvXSD0kcAMKsuUNZt-rznFkO9/view

Happy Hands Linked Bookmark was shared here - https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2022/03/one-month-several-years.html

Pattern notes are included in the updated pdf above.

Happy Hands Linked Bracelet is almost exactly the same as the bookmark, except for using numerous colours and beads, and a different tail, etc. I made this specifically to represent our common efforts to create, complete, and continue the Endrucks Project.

If only the gold and silver beads sparkle in the photos as they do in real, sigh.

Pattern notes included in updated pdf.

 

This is my sampler from 2019 in Lizbeth 20 where I conceived the idea of a necklace and played around with bead arrangements. However, I knew I would never do justice to it, hence asked Ninetta to step in and she did so willingly and in such a spectacular fashion!

And now for the awesome part! This is a very short video Ninetta sent with her Happy Hands Necklace pics. And here is the link, in case - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dOwk3l0vei-RApDrBPeJCe06FzpBeaqC/view

These are her work in progress pics. She used treble stitches to add height and texture to the chain arches between motifs.

She substituted the hand rings with swarovski crystals.

This is the clasp at the back.

And a close-up of how she used tatting to join the necklace to the clasp.

The cabochon is attached later using this pattern - https://ninettacaruso.blogspot.com/2020/06/pattern-for-tiffany-bezel.html

As seen from the back.

The clasp and part of the necklace. This could so easily also become the front!

Notes, as well as tutorial links, are included in the updated pdf.

And Ninetta tatted yet another as a gift! 

Remember all these goodies are included in the updated Happy Hands Edgings and Adaptations pdf - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IRlJ7bnx-c27PYtgXymx_ps-KL2pen_m/view

The Sunflower coaster ( https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2021/03/happy-sunflowers.html )  which was earlier a part of it, has been removed. I am in the process of adding diagrams to the pattern and cleaning up the presentation as a stand-alone. For the impatient tatter, I can send you the old pdf; although I'd prefer patience ;-D  

All modernised patterns and so much more can be accessed from the EP doc - https://docs.google.com/document/d/17LEVftXweztBIOWh4sL4BB7bX65ssoOsOn4oXIgCepY/view

Ninetta, my true partner in crime (PIC), thank you from the bottom of my heart! 

I'd also like to thank Winnie Ho for her feedback which made me 

re-think and re-do the presentation. Hopefully, it is now better laid out

with plenty of choices to work the pattern.
