Test Tatting a doily design

This is another Elaine P. Gan design.  It's only the center so far.  It will be a doily when finished(a small doily I think).  I saw the design and saw the "flowers" pop out at me.  She tatted it in a single color, but I just have to make the flowers show!!!  :)  
This is tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Tropical Punch, and size 40 Yarnplayer's HDT Celery.
I have also been working on one of the very long tatted Christmas garlands for my friend
(this one and 1 more to finish).  And I have several crosses that need to be tatted soon hopefully!!  :)
Have an awesome night and I hope it was tatful!!  :)

This is gorgeous Sue :). Love how well the 2 variegated colours go together to make the flowers stand out. I'm doing mine in 2 solid colours :). Similar but not quite the same as yours :).

This is beautiful I love mixing the variegated colors like this it is beautiful! is this a new book she has or separate patterns? Off hand I can't remember?

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous !
So glad you decided to go with the flower trellis/garland look . And amazingly (or deliberately?), the colourway has produced alternating yellow & pink flowers .

I took one look at this and thought 'Mary Konior'. It's a sort of mix of Convolvulus and Wallflowers in two of her books. LOVE Mary Konior for her simplicity.

Ooh, that's sweet! Yes, using two colours shows the design up well.

I like the way the flowers pop! Great color choice! I look forward to seeing the rest of the doily.

Thank you so much everyone!!! :)
Jenn, can't wait to see yours!! :)
Jane Eborall, I kind of thought the same thing. :)

God's Kid said...

Oops, muskaan, I wanted to say that I had noticed that the colors had organized themselves alternating also and was wondering while tatting it if it would continue and it did!! :)

Very pretty. It reminds me of some of Mary Konior's patterns. The flowers stand out beautifully.

God's Kid said...

Thank you both very much!!! :)

Thank you Susanne!!! :)

I love Mary Konoir, but this pattern came out of amother piece that I was tatting free form. If I only have a tenth of Konoir's creativity.

God's Kid said...

You are extremely talented and created Elaine!!! I love your designs!! :)
