Here are the results. I apologize if these posts are getting tiresome...it's just what is going on right now.
All these new tatting threads are totally handpainted. I mix the dyes as I would water paints and then I "go to town" on the thread as if it were a canvas. These theads have complex shading and color variances. I hope you enjoy them.
I love fuchsia flowers. Being an artist, I cannot commit to just one favorite flower but this one is definately in my top 5.
"FUCHSIA"
This next tatting thread I am super excited about!!! I was agonizing over if it could be done without ruining a whole bunch of expensive thread. But since the idea sprouted I couldn't get it off my mind so I just had to give it a go.
"SUNSET CLOUDS"
And finally, I created "TUTTI FRUTTI" which is similar to the "Cirque de Couleur". This batch, being handpainted, is much more colorful and saturated.

Sherry, all of the threads are so beautiful that I don't know how to express it. I don't know what Clyde and I are going to do! You have done a fantastic job. Keep those inspirations and creative juices flowing.
The threads are beautiful to look at just as skeins!

More beautiful thread! I'm glad you like to experiment!
Sherry, The colours are absolutely breathtaking. They are enough to send a HDTA into complete joy. Now if the HDT fairy would just visit my wallet tonight and make a deposit the possibilities are endless.
