| May's flower of the month (Lilly of the Valley ) with 2 of the worlds largest cluny :) It is so long that looks a lot like two chain stitches, see they are the first two leaves, I stitched the two clunies together a bit. I like this flower, but think it still need work! |
 |
| I love the wings but the center was too big, and I removed the original and this second one. |
 |
| This was the first set of wings made from this book and so I wanted to fix it up and add more color, so it worked out well to encircle it. |
 |
| Hiding the ends with a whip stitch |
 |
| I put this little bug center in. I was trying to create something which I will show you in a later blog post, It will be using a one color butterfly. |
Your lilly is very nice and the butterfly is lovely :)
ReplyDeleteThank You Ninetta.
DeleteGreat flowers and butterfly!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove that lily of the valley flower! Is this your design, or from a pattern somewhere?
ReplyDeleteThank You. Oh I made this one up, but not sure how much I like it, to write it down, I am thinking on it.
DeleteNice whip stitch to hide the ends. Love the flower too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I used to do something different but this is working better for me.

Thank you all (Fox, wickedtats, 3nereida, Dalmazia and Margaret!) I didn't think it would be that well liked I put off taking pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe lily of the valley pattern should be written down as it is beautiful and modfiied butterfly is much better.
ReplyDeleteI did sketch down, before I started the lily of the valley and will have to see if I wrote the rest, if not and get around to it !
DeleteBeautiful tatting!!!
ReplyDeleteDas Blümchen und der Schmetterling sehen wunderschön aus.
ReplyDeleteLieben Gruß Cornelia
Love the lillies of the valley and the wings are beautiful. Haven't been tatting lately and this post makes me want to get out the shuttle.

The lillies are lovely! I like the butterfly too. The second body does look in better proportion.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I did not realize butterflies are harder than they look.
DeleteWOW! Carollyn!!! So gorgeous! I'm not normally a tatted butterfly fan (ducks to avoid thrown shuttles) but this is my favorite...and that lily?! Wow. Amazing. You rock. :)
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Kristen I didn't realize that the lilies are so liked too!
ReplyDeleteLove that lily! I can't tat clunies (I can embroider them, though) so your clunies are fabulous!
