Challenge piece in progress...trying to show bead colors!

Ok...so this will give away what the challenge piece is....but

it's NOT finished!!  :)

 These pictures actually show the colors of the beads better, but not the best yet!

 Another try for better colors.  Oh well....just take my word for it, they are 

fabulous!!!  :)

I might, have the project finished tomorrow.

I have to sit at the hospital with a friend while her husband

has surgery so....I will be tatting while she is knitting.

Funny thing is I planned to bring my tatting, and then she told

me to bring my tatting.  :)

Have a wonderful day and happy tatting!!!  :)

2015 25 Motif Challenge # 10(I know it's 2016)

Last year I didn't get anywhere near the 25 for the challenge.  Not that I didn't tat 25 things, but...I really feel that I want to only include things in the Challenge which are a challenge or new technique to me-so this year I want to do my best to try and finish last year's challenge, and do a challenge for this year too, which means I will be challenged quite a bit if I make it!!  :)

This is a pattern from Ninetta which has intrigued me since I saw it.

She calls it the Superduo Squared Motif.  She used superduo beads, but mine say twin beads.

The bead color says Blue Iris.  I wish you could see how fabulous the colors are!!

And the seed beads are a dark purple, but I guess bead colors tonight don't go well with the scanner.

The thread is size 40 Lizbeth Boysenberry Dk.

I don't think I did bad for my first try(although it took 3 starts).

And since I have 4 or 5 bags of these beads I guess I will learn from this and have more projects with these beads.  :)

I hope you have had a wonderful day!!!  I have had a pretty restful and tatting filled day!!!
