Motif no.11
I took me a few goes to get it right but
I think even the "wrong" ones look pretty and very clover-like!
It's a bit of a tight fit to get the four petals in and I found it needed
a light pressing to get it to lie flat but the unpressed ones look nice too,
gives them more of a 3-D effect.
Next I might have to try her wavy braid...
By the way, I've not given up on the Tischband, just needed a little change so that's what I tatted last night: the clovers and also another Happy Heart with the centre slightly different. A Czech lady who is a friend of an In Tatters' member made earrings and a bookmark with my Happy Heart (link to her pictures), and also tatted it with a tiny flower in the centre (along the lines of what I've done with the Heart Within) so I tried it. Looks nice.
Actually, looking at her modification, I think it might be a Josephine knot in the middle and not a tiny flower... and I like the way she's done the inside chain, give the centre a lovely heart shape. I'll have to give this another try.
Motif no.12
You obviously loose the "smile effect" but it's pretty too.
In case you want to know,
I just replaced the centre 11ds chain with C3, rw, R1-1-1-1, rw, C3.
Best wishes,
I'm so glad that you like my Clover! I was not sure if I did correct instructions but now I see that they are ok :) And your clovers look very pretty!
ReplyDeleteDas Herzchen und auch die Kleeblätter, sind wunderschöne Motive.

ReplyDeleteThese clovers are lovely. I like the heart-shaped leaves that make up the whole piece. Oh, I want to try to tat the happy hearts too. They are sweet!

Frivole, haslenka really isn't polish lady, I think she is 100% czech :-D (but she feels honoured that she found link to her gallery here, thanks ;-))

DeleteUnos trabajos preciosos!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat Heart and Clovers. I'm off to find the clover pattern. Thanks for sharing where you found it.
ReplyDeleteI do like your tatting, you are very skilful... this is the first time I have come across this craft, I was looking for embellishments I can make myself, particular for baby announcement cards, was thinking about crochet but really wanted something more elegant that I can do without having to strain my eyes... maybe this is it?!
