This butterfly is tatted with three shuttles, at least the wings I think the body is a little bit thin.
It is my own design.
I like the wings, but have to find out a better way to go from one wing to the other and from one side to the other.
My problem is: I hate cut and tie I always look for a way to tat all in one This one is done that way, but as I said I have to find a better way .
Meaby someone has some suggestions
The technic is pearl tatting and daisy picot technic

a verry tedious week


Hi All,
Didn't let you know much this week.
It was awfull. Monday I got the news that my cousin of 47 years old died in the same way as my eldest son last november, cardiac arrest. that hurts and it made me anxious about the two sons I still have.
This was not anough in the night from tuesday to wednesday they break in to my house.
i didn't hear annything and when I came down on wednesday morning the room and kitchen downstairs was a totaly mess, they opened every drawer and cubbord and took a lot of things and smashed all kind off things on the floor. The projects I did for the chalange are gone, but what was realy worse, the shuttles on the projects were 4 hinton shuttles and special ones. and much more was stolen.
OK there is also good news I started a new edging when I came back from the funerall from my cousin yesterday and when I came home my yongest son Edwin mailed me the first pictures from the baby that he and Alice his girlfriend are expecting in march 2007. Yes you read it well I will get my first grandchild how is that? So I end the week positif and go on with my tatting.
There is a picture from a square in the daisy technic, I will combinate this with Hardanger for a workshop. It is in my head , have to write it down. This square is made of a triangle pattern from the Shuttle brothers.
End of the message till next time

Some tatting new motif and some skies





















It was verry awfull weather to day, so I took the pictures I made on my last yourney, driving home after we said goodby to the chip monkey on the mountain Eddie's peak.
The sky was so beautifull I am not good in pictures, but these 2 I like
I also did some tatting, front and back again is different It is not what I wanted, I took the wrong picot to join, saw it to late, so desided to make 3 blue points, than a round small chains last chain was splitchain and after that tatted the 3 white points, the technic is again daisy picot
which side do you like the best the frontside or the backside, you can see it the tatting is frontside backside done
Please let me know
