On the day when Christmas decorations are being taken down I have tatted a fir tree up to look like a decorated tree.
The pattern is another one from Inga Madsen’s ‘12 Tatted Fairy-Tales.’ As you can see I made sure that it has coloured lights on it by included lots of seed beads. In the book it is illustrated in white and instead of a star on top there is a bird. I have used hand dyed thread and this one is called forest.
I am tempted to make another one as I am particularly eager to use up the container of mixed beads (bead soup) that has grown over the years, mainly because of spillages.

Nice tree
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteLovely! I have that book and I have bead soup from similar spillages. Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteBead soups take up too much room!
DeleteWhat a beautiful tree!
ReplyDeleteThanks Maureen worked better than expected!
DeleteWhat a smart way to use up those leftover beads that always seem to collect.
ReplyDeleteI hate wastage even if it is only tiny beads so this is an ideal way of using them up.
DeleteExcellent pattern and use of beads! Did you do this in one day?
ReplyDeleteNo Kathy it took me days, but then I only have, at the best a couple of hours a day to devote to tatting
DeleteHi Tatters,
ReplyDeleteI just started to Tatt again after many years.
I am trying to make the Butterfly paper clip bookmark and can't figure out how to attach it to the paper clip.
Can someone help me or direct to a YouTube site
