My Personal Challenge update

I had the top and bottom of this tatting done all last 

week, but was trying to figure out what to do for the 

center all the way around the ornament.

Well, I figured it out and today I finished(not perfect, 

but nice for me).  I thought I would show some in 

progress photos so you would have some idea of 

how I put tatting on glass ornaments.  

The first picture is the tatting joined by the center 

about 1/2 way around sitting by itself.

 This next picture shows how I slide the ornament into 

the tatting.

 Then, while carefully and quite challenging, I hold the 

ornament in my hand while finishing the tatting around it.

 And more....

 And carefully "resting the ornament"on my hand (which

 has a tendency to roll and swing off my hand), while 

tatting a ring. I finished that bare section where you 

see the red.

 And, it's on the display.

 I bit of a close-up. I made the white frilly to 

try to make it look like snow.

 Here are the first 2 on.  The first one is larger 

than this one.  And both of these are smaller than 

others I made years ago.

I have also added about another 2-4 motifs to the 

tablecloth this week so far.

Happy tatting and have a wonderful day!!!  :)
