Do you remember that it was Karen who started the quest for a 3D butterfly? I am absolutely thrilled to show you her first of the new 3D butterflies here. Karen is a relatively new tatter. Actually she helped a great deal with getting this pattern 'sorted' as her questions led to constant improvements. I finally asked Karen when she'd learnt to tat and she said this:-
"Hi - I first picked up a teach yourself kit mid 2009 after watching a friend of mine try to teach another and thought now that looks interesting. I sat for for several Sunday afternoons in my mum's garden getting very fed up and cutting off one attempt after another I tried several times and finally got the flip, I then started to follow a few you tube vids and finally started following very simple patterns around Dec 2009, I then joined the tatting group around mid 2010 so about 2.5 years since I first picked up a shuttle and about 18 months since I started tatting properly. LOL no I take a challenge head on and am a devil I hate being beaten."

So you are encouring another tatter Jane,
Seems like Karen is well on the way to desiging. Encourage her to start a blog - although I bet you have already!
Thanks Sally and yes she has tried believe me along with a lot of others, my main problem is time as in not a lot of it!
She seems to be doing wonderfully!! :)
