I've printed out your mystery medallion. I missed the last one, so here we go! Thanks for the work you put into it.
ReplyDeleteWhat no pic yet? Okay, I guess I'll give it a whirl. I'm not a good tatter without pics, I'm just warnng you. My motif might end up looking upside down or inside out...lol.
ReplyDeletehehehe..NO PIC is the point. Can you interpret written instructions? I agree, most of us are visual, but many of the old patterns were printed without pictures or pictures that only gave you a general idea of the shape. This will sharpen your interpretive skills - so that even when tatting from a photo only, you'll have an idea have to achieve it. I've gotten one completed motif already and it was right so I don't think this one is too hard.

I started this one Wednesday night before I went to surgery yesterday. I would be finished by now if not for that. It is going to be lovely and I enjoy not knowing what I'm making. I've had no problem with it so far. Maybe I can finish it tomorrow. I've slept all day today! Thanks for doing this for us.
ReplyDeleteI'm finished and the picture is it's way to you! I hope I got it right.
