Tatting commission delivered

If you remember, I mentioned in an earlier post that a colleague had asked me to make her two tatted wings and two flower clusters in tatting. Here is that post. It has indeed been so long, that I've forgotten what I'd written.

Well, after several weeks, I showed her my prototypes. She liked them and off I went to make them for her. Here they are, in pearl cotton (mostly):

 

They are pair of wings from Wanda's knotty thoughts and two blossoms by Muskaan).

I have to say that Frivole's snowflake test tatting has taught me how to make an unflipped chain and this was very useful for the wings. I made each of them with a shuttle and ball.

The blossoms were a real delight to tat. I really liked the simple patterns and the colours were so cheery!

I did them all in one weekend (overall 8 hours), hoping to catch up with my colleague the next week, but sadly we only saw each other a few weeks later, on this Wednesday. l gave her the lace and I'm glad to say she really liked them. She even asked me for two more blossoms in slightly different colours.

My wrist has been a bit bad the past few days with tendonitis (I blame crocheting hehe), so I will get to it when I'm sure I've recovered enough.

I'll come back with more pictures when I'm done.
