That
Wanda Salmans! She is a talented designer and made the loveliest little heart. When I asked about the pattern, she sent it to me! Now, I tried it and it's easy and very understandable but I had the silliest time making it. Starting, trying a new way to add beads, deciding that wasn't the way to do it, distatifying, restarting, not liking that, distatifying, unwinding, stringing beads, making ridiculous mistakes, distatifying, running out of thread(!), distatifying, redoing, etc.
And after all that, I don't like it. I like the pattern, the shape and the heart but I don't like the pink. What was I thinking? Next time white with the pretty beads.

Anyone know a 5-year old who would like an ugly bookmark?
Latin for today: tempus tero. = I'm wasting time.
I have two girls hanging over me here that both were going oooh pretty when this popped up on the screen...it's really quite lovely, but I do suspect the colors to be more wildly popular with the younger girls :-). I always admire your method of making these pretties into bookmarks, so elegant.
ReplyDeleteNot ugly at all! I love the way you make the tail :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! on my computer screen it IS white, with pink beads :-) Nice job! Thanks for trying the pattern for me.
ReplyDeletePerfect for little girls! They love pink!

I think this is lovely! And it's cute that Julie's daughters are observing tatting blog photos with their mom!
ReplyDeleteIt's not ugly at all! It's not my style, but it's not ugly. I know three little girls who would be thrilled to have it, and two of them live in Minnesota! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that whoever you give it to will love it!
The finished item is lovely - any little girl would adore it!
ReplyDeleteMy grand daughter would be the one she would be pestering me to make one for her, loves pink even down to all her thread is pink, everything she tats is pink.
