I'm half way through finishing off my collection of bookmarks. These were just little bits I tatted while watching TV just to keep my hands and mind busy and I wasn't going to draw out the patterns, but I've changed my mind.
I did this one first in mauve/white/green and one solid thread in mauve, then again in deep blue with a variegated blue/white/yellow. I really like them. They were easy to tat and just seemed to flow and the colours blended nicely. These were done in 2014 and I suspect that the last one was done at the same time. The solid colour is a green that matched the green in the variegated thread perfectly, but when I did the bookmark in this colour combination, I didn't like it at all! I think it's just too many colours. That may be why I never bothered to finish it off. It's done now and waiting for gifting.
I have the pattern already drawn, but I can't see anywhere where I published it. So here it is:
I used the same variegated thread paired this time with a solid red, but again I don't care for the final result. At first glance I thought I'd done this one before too, but it's totally different.
Here's the other one done in monochromatic black and white:

Colour really does make a difference.
I'll see if I can't get this last one drawn out later today and you can do it in colours more pleasing to the eye.
Just for your information, I keep getting notices that the blog posts aren't optimized for multi platform use. I use my computer to post and I can view everything easily on my tablet so I'm not sure what Blogger wants me to change. So if you have issues please mention them in the comments.
No issues with viewing.
ReplyDeleteI love the top bookmarks and will hopefully tat the pattern some day. Thanks again 💙
The 2014 one has a center of only diamonds. Nice! ❤️
