The Work of the little Boat

No, that is not one of those envied shuttles, it is a brooch that looks like one :)
I think that is as close as I will get to owning one.
This square is 2 inches or 5.5 cm.
Well there is more done on this last round got 4 out of 10 done.
Running out of ways to display doily :)
Well another day completed Day 4 Of, "Tat It And See"
Where tatting is a guessing game by Jane

    Cute little square, love the design. I sometimes put my tatting on top of my pet rabbit, but I don't think he'd take too kindly to being draped like that! It would be dangerous too as I've discovered he is capable of chewing through thread in less than 10 seconds.

    I love that little square! Is there any way to turn that pretty little brooch into a shuttle? If not, I think I'd wear it almost every day!

      Really my mind is working on it but I afraid the heat from adding another side might ruin the pretty embossing color

    Pretty brooch, too :-) Nothing prevents you from attaching a bit of tatting to it, though ;-P

    Great colorway on that square but where do you find the inspiration to work on the JS doily? I do love the TIAS.
