Diamond Motifs

The following pictures are my journey into designing a diamond shaped motif to enter into the Ring-of-Tatters competition this year. I will not post a picture of the final design that I am entering, I will save that until after the competition.

Oval Doily now test tatted

My dear friend, Stephanie, from across the pond, has very kindly test-tatted my Oval Doily. She has done it in a size 80 variagated thread, so that she could get the whole doily onto her scanner, as she doesn't have a digital camera.

Beautiful work, Stephanie!

I found this one the most difficult to decipher! I have not altered the pattern (although the original had more than one mistake, good thing there was a picture to study!) I have simply re-written it in modern tatting language.
