Suetta's Thread
Here is what I did with the skein of thread that Suetta sent to me, It was Wildflowers by Caron and Sandstone colour.
The main piece was just a doodle that began as a compass, but I was watching what was left all the time I was tatting. So stopped at N,S,W and E. then added little rings to make it lay flatter, The other numbers are just little rings, with three picots, and the flower to fill the space at the bottom is from Mary Maynards gorgeous book Rings of Flowers. The background is dark green mounting board, and just a clock movement fitted in by my long suffering husband. It is only placed at the moment. He doesn't finish anything until I haven't changed my mind about what I would like done to it for at least a fortnight!!!!
I have just bought Mary Maynards second book called four square ring. So am now going to put my feet up and read, both the words and the lovely pictures,Then my shuttles can get busy, It is a book full of food for thought, ( I will fit in some motifs as well, honest) ............was going to make a thumb sucking tatbead baby for Jane, but got side-tracked.
