I finished the tatted part of the bookmark last night, staying up until nearly midnight because I just had one and a little bit more flutter motifs to go! You know how it is...just a teensy bit more and it should only take a few minutes. I was sweatin' it at the end because it looked like I was very close to running out of thread on the shuttle. So now....do I run a ribbon through it or do I put a tassel at one end? And if I use a ribbon, what color? If I put a tassel on, how am I going to position it? In between the "wings" or should I pull it through both loops over the wings? I know this looks extremely "Springy" when we're in the throes of Christmas tatting - or maybe you are, I'm not yet. I need to get this done and out of the way so I can move on to the traditional red, green, white, gold & silver.

This is very pretty. Why not leave it just the way it is?
ReplyDeleteGina, this turned out even more beautiful than I imagined! I wouldn't do a thing to it. I think ribbon would take away from it and I don't know how you would gt the tassel to look right. I like it just like it is!
ReplyDeleteThank you both! I plan to use this one and I like a little something to hang out of the book so I can easily open it. I have some without tails and they are harder to find my place in. Guess I could only put it in short books. LOL!

This is lovely.I'd go with a tassel so you don't hide any of the tatting.
ReplyDeleteThis is very pretty! I wouldn't use a ribbon -- it would cover some of it up.
ReplyDeleteWhat I might do is tat a large ring, joining to the 2 inner picots of the end chains. Then use a lock stitch chain or zig zag chain for a couple inches, and end with another ring to which the tassel could be attached.
--Or, probably better to leave it the way it is. It's beautiful!
I agree with the others, Gina, using ribbon would cover up too much of the beautifull work you have done. I think it should be left as it is, but if you must put something on then a tassle, maybe, or perhaps some ric-rac tatting with some beads at the end?
ReplyDeleteOh, so pretty! I like it just as it is!
ReplyDeleteGina,I just love the colors. Such beautiful work.
