Having seen Marty's comment a week or so ago about the Chicken Wing Coaster that Margaret had made out of Norman's wing, I went into my tatting cupboard and found my dear, dear friend brain cell # 3.
He'd been enjoying a 'bit of a nap' so I woke him up, dusted him off and inserted him into place.
Mission? To take Margaret's idea and make it in one 'hit' like Marty suggested.
Here's the result worked with HWT. The threads I used are (greens) Oren Bayan 70 variegated green alongside Star machine quilting size 50 in a bright light green. Here I must say many thanks to the Palmetto tatters for the magnifying glass which came in the goodie bag last year!!!! For the oranges I used Oren Bayan variegated navy, maroon and yellow with Star machine quilting size 50 in a bright orange.
Now, having achieved this very pretty coaster I decided that the centre was too crowded so back to the drawing board - well, the one on the computer, for another sorting out!!!
This time I decided to use Krystaldawn's variegated thread with a plain bright red Olympus 40. Now this one ROCKS.
wow, jane what wonderful colour's and how they have worked with your chicken wings is just great.can't wait for the one hit pattern.wonder what it would look like with some sparkly beads added.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous. Particularly the smaller green one.
ReplyDeleteIs this how you got the idea for your double sided motif? By putting two items on top of each other and thinking 'How can I connect these two motifs?'
Not only amused but it also keeps you from the street Result You are a nice sweet girl that behaves well
ReplyDeleteBTW I like those coasters.
My Butterfly is going well, i am just fighting with how to explain and how to call all the different things.
Wow -- it really turned out great! I don't even mind the "crowded" center on the first one. The slightly spiral look of the center on the second one is just, just...wow!
ReplyDeleteI LIKE the first "crowded" center, cause it is after all a coaster; and, my glass of ice 'sweats' ~ LOL I really like the green and oranges.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about using beads though…if it's to be used as a coaster. On the other hand, if they were even, they would slightly elevate the glass. Interesting concept.
