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! :)
ReplyDeleteso cute!
ReplyDeletebut 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?
ReplyDeleteI 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!!!
