Inspired by an awesome design......still have lots of trying to get what I envision. :)

Remember this awesome bookmark from not too long ago???  
Well.....being bored in my mind and needing something to change routine tonight, I sat and drew out this(although it was different in the drawing of course).  I envision something different, but so far my daughter and husband both love this!!  My daughter says it looks like a special water lily type flower that God put His print on.  I was going for a broomstick lace cross and have lots of work to achieve it, but this is quite interesting.  It's not very big..maybe about 2 inches tall.
Have a wonderful tatting time(when you can!!)!!!!  :)
And for those in the winter storm areas......stay safe and warm!!!  :)

    The very long picots give an interesting effect. I think I may have to try that!

    I like your thinking and thoughts on the design, may I suggest that you make the bottom longer and that way it would look more like a cross. I think you have some thing in the design and just four rings in the middle would give you a flower.
    Keep up the good work

    If this is what they call broomstick lace, well, I love it!!!It make me think of another type of lace: hairpin? It is very effective!!

    Thank you Tally Tatty!!! :) I love it too and it seems so special somehow. I have seen hairpin lace too and was intrigued by it also, but haven't gotten to it yet. :)

    Sue, I like your attempt !
    Not just a water lily I can see many lovely shapes and possibilities ! For one, if you focus on the outline, it looks like a cute cuddly teddy bear :-)

    I haven't yet tried this technique - although I do remember downloading a broomstick pattern.

    Like this one - Teri Dusenbury's Teddy bear mobile. http://teridusenburystattletales.blogspot.in/2014/09/pattern-of-month-club-newsletter-july.html
    The head reminded me immediately of this pattern.

    Or one of the pokemon characters ?
    Just an abstract/stylized kind of outline ;
