At last I've got a tiny owl's face that I'm happy with.
Two whole afternoons have been 'wasted' on this wretched little critter's face!! I think it was worth it in the end, though.
I used my original pattern taken from here but that was done in two parts - just for the face!!! This time I've finally managed to get it down to one round with the 3 beads included in the tatting. I NEVER EVER sew or stick beads onto tatting - I feel that's cheating and certainly isn't safe as beads can so easily fall off. I needed to resolve the problem in case I wanted to make more of these owls as too many cuts and 'sewings ins' take too much time - they're a 'lost leader' anyway!!!
Sorry about the wonky looking picture but the magnets kept trying to get together again.
Tomorrow I NEED to go back to colour and beads. OR another sort of critter - wonder what it'll be?

Those are cute! :)
so cute!
but I miss the little guy that lost an eye LOL
Such a cute little owl. I have made him quite a few times. I was wondering if you will be ammending your pattern to reflect the new face done in one round?
I can't wait to see what critter will come up next on your bookmarks? Maybe a baby elephant or a lady bug???
I am working on the TIAS, hope to send you a pic today. Have a good one Jane!!!
