#2 for the 25 motif challenge

"RAIN FOREST" Silk HDT size 20 tatting thread.

The fish eye is a mother of pearl bead.
I have tweaked the pattern a bit here and there, but I think it still needs a little "somp'n somp'n".

#1 for the 25 motif challenge

This is BUTTER TOFFEE in size 20 tatting thread. My friend and student Kyoung-mi loves fish. Fish are a common theme in her pottery shop and paintings....so I decided to design a tatted fish espcially for her

I decided to join the The 25 MOtif Challenge again this year. It is a fantastic way to motivate oneself to tat. Anyhow this year my challenge is to tat 25 motifs all in a different HDT (hand dyed thread).
That way I can have a sample of all my hdt's tatted up...I've been meaning to do this for awhile, so today is as good as any to start.
