This is the basic shape, and I have seen this style in lots of tatting pattern books, but I connected it with a small chain and did four of them in size 80 to go with the flowers. That is a miniature close pin not real size!
Must keep leaves together or they get in the way.
Below is an even smaller violet with 2 beads and one less double stitch in between picots. |
Lovely leaves, have a look at a wild violet plant their leaves are more heart shape than the African violet plant. Just an idea.
ReplyDeleteI still like the African violet flowers.

You are right they wild violets are heart shaped, I forgot I have none alive in my lawn hard to recall ha ha ha. The African leaf is not hopefully this looks more like African violet leaf!

ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea I will use that I think I found one at a craft store long ago I like this idea thanks!
