If you love tatted lace, jewellery, plants and anything handcrafted, come back often.
I will regularly post items that are made by me, plants that I grow and interesting things that I photograph.

4 or 9 Spinning Wheels
What do you think? I want it in this general shape. Should I leave it at 4 or continue to 9 motifs? I showed you one spinning wheel here. Currently it is 7 by 5 inches. It was so much easier than tatting the first motif.
Wow! It's really pretty as is, but I think I would go for nine (if I tatted quickly like you) because then you would see more of the secondary flower pattern which emerges when the wheels are joined. :) Ann
hmmm....with this many, it seems not quite done. But if you make 9, it's going to be quite large. I think the pattern will be more emphasized with 9 though.
I was wondering if you could do some kind of emphasis around this shape that would define the edge and note compete and yet make the piece seem more finished. Just a thought. Lovely work. Fox : )
Thank you all for your comments and your opinions. It does look unfinished. I think I will increase it but maybe later after I do Pear and Apple. I do sleep! It's just that I need to tat every night. You should have seen me trying to tat after a full day of stained glass class. My fingers were so sore but I still wanted to tat.
I think it's very pretty as it is, but I'd go for the 9!
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane.

It looks fantastic - go for 9! Really lovely shapes.
ReplyDeleteYou could see how nine would look with a bit of computer trickery. I think it would be lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou do tat fast! Do you ever sleep!!
I think I would go for nine as well, but it is also lovely as is.

ReplyDeleteI love the new patterns that your combination is revealing. Go For 9!
