A rose and a question
I don't think I've posted here before, so I'll start out by saying hello. Hello!
I've been learning some new techniques lately. Mostly because I wanted to make this:
It's a combination of the roses in Judith Connors' Contemporary Tatting and in To de Haan-van Beek's New Dimensions in Tatting, though I didn't follow either one exactly.
This project is the first time I've done needle tatting, inverted tatting and pearl tatting. I love it, even though I can see some places I'd improve it the next time I make one.
After that, I wanted to play with pearl tatting a little, so I made a couple of bracelets:
Now I feel like trying something new again, and the last post here has reminded me that I've always wanted to try Celtic tatting. Does anyone have any recommendations for instructions and/or a good (and fairly simple) pattern or two to try it with?
