You probably remember me doing this single whirl a while ago.
Well you know what BC3 is like - he HAD to find out what it would look like when done in multiples!!
This was a bit of a challenge actually because the whirls kept putting me on a wrong foot with the joins. A few sessions of backtracking (undoing!) occurred but I'm pretty pleased with the result. I have even memorised the pattern so I can take it 'out and about' with me as I'm making another mat in the same way!!! How's that for progress!!
I wasn't happy with the first scan so put a green background on the second time.
There's a very funny story about the green background.
I have some sheets of card by the scanner for white pieces of tatting so I chose a very bright fluorescent piece out of the stash. I scanned the mat a couple of times and it came out with a cream background. I was really puzzled about this and went off to ask Mr Google why this was happening. Then after a search which came up with no answers I decided to call it a day and picked the card off the scanner to put away. Well, imagine how stupid I felt when I realised that the green fluorescent was only on the ONE side of the card!!!!
Now why did I tell you all that story when it just goes to prove what a dozy old moo I am?

Now we see why there are 2 "conveniently placed" picots on the rings at the ends of the points. Not really dozy, is it? More like genius.
I have also done the card thing. For a bit I wondered if the scanner has a filter that causes that. Yep, it was different on the other side, just like you did. Bet we are not the only ones.
Looks pretty Miss ! Did those joins drive you bonkers then?
Beautiful, love them together, over and under the green card :-)
It's an amazing design, it almost looks alive, a lot of dancing creatures holding hands!
Haha! It's good to know I'm not alone. I've done the same thing with a scanner. I do like your twirly motifs joined together!
Oh this is SO what I could have done myself! Since I don't blog I don't need to share pictures of my tatting, that's the only reason why I can say it never happened to me!!!
I think your mat looks lovely :)
Amazing result. It is mesmerizing to look at.
It’s a dance, a wonderful whirl!
It looks amazing!!! :)
What a great effect of togetherness! I like it.
