Tatted green hummingbird

This is my first try at tatting this hummingbird pattern by Sherry Matthews. It is still missing its distinctive long beak which I have yet to make but you can see that it is a bird. I had to do a lot of unpicking because I kept reading the pattern wrong. I finally finished the body, wings and tail. I am going to try tatting it in another colour combination and see how it looks, maybe dark grey and blue.

  2. Thank you Lana. I will post the hummingbirds as they are ready. I am so pleased that you enjoy my photos of Singapore. There are many interesting buildings. I haven't had time to photograph them.
