I really like the streamlined, modern, futuristic look of this
(way out there!) design. It took me many, many tries to finalize the exact "boomerang" shape that I really wanted.

Here's the same design worked in bright green, with the red-orange accent provided by using hand dyed thread along with a contrasting bead.
To get this style of tatting, I used some lesser-known techniques, including Node Stitch, Catherine Wheel Join, Loop Tatted Ring, and Lock Stitch Chain.
I learned about these techniques from the websites of many generous tatters.
It's fun playing with new ideas!
