Having completed tatting enough lace leaves (despite being interrupted several times by more urgent matters) I was faced with the question of how to join them all together. One of those creator's block moments. Fortunately, I had some reject leaves left over to practice joining ideas on, which besides giving me an idea of stitch counts showed that green was not the color thread I wanted. Dark charcoal gray shows off the leaves much better! Similar to tree bark from a distance.
This is still a work in progress. I missed the deadline for a juried fiber art exhibit that I had planned to submit to, but there will be others.
The leaf pattern is vintage, though I tweaked it a little to make different sizes. More about the leaf pattern on this post.
That looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Hawaiian dancers ... lovely 😍
ReplyDeleteThat’s clever. I thought you might thread them onto one of those wire rings, but that would be too simple.
ReplyDeleteI like your choice of the charcoal grey. It does make a nice blend with the colorful leaves.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it finished!!! :)
