Star in Clover
This Star was designed by Jon Yussoff and I tatted it using Lizbeth no 20 in this pretty blue. Stars sometimes twinkle blue don't they ? I like the little star in the middle with the clean lines as well as the elaborate outside one.
I taught myself to tat from books, as a teenager, but had never met another tatter. Joining on-line groups has given me a new enthusiasm for the art, and enabled me to learn new techniques. I have even tried my hand at designing.

Any diagrams for working these tatted pieces are on my website www.handicrafts.org.uk

Lovely blue. Thank you for tatting this. This was one of my earliest designs. I have not designed any stars much since.
ReplyDeleteBoth stars are very nice.
ReplyDeleteWhen I see patterns I like, I save them. This one is so pretty, Jon, you should design some more.
