Celtic style tatted pendant


This is my latest experiment with Celtic style tatting; overlapping motifs only, not interwoven Celtic knots. I like this new design, but I'm not sure it looks "Celtic" enough. I'm thinking that maybe I could add some knotwork to it somehow, for another variation.

I do like how it is reversible, with a slightly different look on each side. The threads I used were size 20 Lizbeth in Burgundy plus my own hand dyed thread from the "Pizazz" batch.

I'm fascinated by all of the Celtic tatting methods. This is a great pendant as is, and also could be the 'base' for more enhancement. That's what is so much fun with Celtic ideas, although I have yet to master the interwoven chains! I can't do Ruth Perry's basic pumpkin!

It's so neat that this has the two different sides!
