TF #24

I was afraid that the picot lengths were too long but it worked out all right. Tatted in Lizbeth Size 20 in Gold Col. 611 and Flora 20 in Col. 234. Another great pattern from Teiko Fujito's book 'Tatted Fashion' on page 39.

Sea Spray Motif

This pattern calls for 4 round motifs joined together with a centre motif tatted in last. Unfortunately, it did not go as planned because I joined too many picots together and thus could not put in a centre. Decided to leave it as such. Still pretty isn't it? Pattern is from Tomoko Morimoto's New Tatting book on page 121. Tatted in Lizbeth Size 40 Ocean Teal Medium Col. 664.

White Dragon Siam Tulip

These flowers were magnificent. A simple gathering is all it needed. Doesn't it look grand? These are the flowers of Globba winitii, a native of Thailand.

TF #29

This pattern is from 'The Tatted Artistry of Teiki Fujito' on page 28. Pretty and delicate. Tatted in Altin Basak Size 50 in three colours - 324, 367 & 370.

This reminded me of a chrysanthemum flower.

Novotel Platinum Bangkok

Spent a few days in Bangkok with my sister. View of Ratchadamri, Bangkok from Novotel Platinum's 9th floor. It was a warm afternoon and we were enjoying the view just before an aromatherapy massage.

Red Lanterns

These lamp shades were grouped in the centre of a restaurant ceiling. With the side wall lined with mirrors, it's reflection made the narrow restaurant seem more spacious.

This reminded me of the beauty parlour my mom would visit when my sister and I were kids. The two side walls were mirrors and you could see your reflection recede into infinity.

Snowflake 4

I used Daruma Lace Size 30 for this last snowflake from Barbara's book. Simple but effective. Another piece for a coaster.

Snowflake 10

I am still not a fan of this green shade. In this photo it does not look that bad. Love the pattern but the three rings seem a little wonky even after blocking.

It is a small motif measuring 2 inches across tatted in size 40 thread - Lizbeth Col. 625 Plum and 681 Pistachio Green Light.

The inner rings of the first and second rounds are wrong. I misread the pattern. It does not look right . . . . right?

A pattern from the book 'Tatted Fashion' by Teiko Fujito on page 43. Done in Lizbeth Size 40 in Latte Foam (Col. 168), Honey Drizzle (Col. 180) and Fudge Dark (Col. 697).

Snowflake 14

Two inches across and fun to tat. Unusual as the picots in the centre is shared between 3 rings. Tatted in Altin Basak Size 50 Col. 3001. Pattern also from Barbara Foster's book.
