MP: meet Gormen & a bookmark

[txcraftnovice.livejournal.com]

Meet Gormen: a sad little tatted dragon with one bum wing and the other on the way to being there.  He is my first attempt at a lovely (but not by me) pattern by Anne (click on the link that says "engelsk" for the PDF pattern).  I plan on making more dragons, in various colors, but don't hold your breath for them any time soon ;)



Actually my 1st finish of the night was a simple bookmark by Roger AKA Freedman using bamboo thread that I dyed myself; the original thread was white and I dyed it navy blue, then black, so there is some variegation, but it's difficult to really see in the picture.  I added a skull bead that I had at the base of the JK chain & right before the tassle.

Awww! I've just finished doing one in gold thread, I haven't had a chance to photograph it yet though.

I actually made one in gold metallic thread for the back of a friend's renaissance fair shirt, and while there, he got so many compliments....[and I got to blush & explain that it was tatting].
